41<p>Initializes a simple allocator.</p><p>Allocates <CODE><a href="../../nn/os/MemoryBlock/Overview.html">nn::os::MemoryBlock</a></CODE> from the heap and creates an allocator to manage that memory region.</p><p>The purpose of this function is to enable you to put off the construction of an independent memory-management mechanism so you can more quickly verify operations during the early stages of development.</p><p>When you are ready to really delve into application development, we recommend that you construct an independent memory-management mechanism rather than use this function.</p><p>By default in the SDK, <CODE>new</CODE> and <CODE>malloc</CODE> request the allocator created by this function for actual allocations of memory. As a result, the size of memory that can be allocated using <CODE>new</CODE> and <CODE>malloc</CODE> is determined by the value specified for <SPAN class="argument">size</SPAN> in this function.</p><p>Before calling this function you must call the <CODE><a href="../../nn/os/InitializeMemoryBlock.html">nn::os::InitializeMemoryBlock</a></CODE> function.</p></div>
