Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000018 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
19 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
20 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
21 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
22 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
23 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
24 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
25 earlier.
