RETURN VALUE

autallocheap returns a pointer to a Size bytes long block.

ERRORS

"autalloc: alloc error, can't continue !"

EXAMPLE

 #include "aut101.h"
 typedef struct bipointer
 {
   struct bipointer *NEXT;
   void             *DATA; 
 } bipointer;
 bipointer *addbipointer( Data );
   void *Data;
 {
   bipointer *Bp = (bipointer *)autallocheap( sizeof( bipointer ) );
   Bp->DATA = Data; return Bp;
 }
