OSInitAlloc

C Specification

#include <revolution/os.h>

void* OSInitAlloc (void* arenaStart, void* arenaEnd, int maxHeaps);

`arenaStart`	Arena start address.
`arenaEnd`	Arena end address.
`maxHeaps`	Maximum number of active heaps that will be used in the program lifetime.

Real arena start address aligned to a 32-byte boundary after the heap array has been allocated.

Although this function is provided for compatibility's sake, we recommend using the MEM library.

Initializes memory allocation services and the arena in which all heaps will reside. This routine must be called before creating a heap.

At the beginning of the arena, a small region of memory is reserved for a heap descriptor array. The base address of the new arena is returned.
