> My first question is where does LE place the HEAP ( what Subpool ) ? And my initial response is a question: why would you care what subpool? The subpool is almost certainly not a programming interface. You should not write any code that depends on the subpool
Any presentation that describes the subpool likely does so to help you in diagnosis situations, not in programming situations. >IIRC subpool 1 is for LE internals and subpool 2 for user heap and >stack. Makes sense so presumably a user-space storage overwrite wont >corrupt LE so it can shutdown cleanly. Tony H's response was right on target. Using different user-region subpools does nothing to help prevent overwrites or corruption. It does help a bit with someone unintentionally freeing the wrong thing. Some applications might choose unique subpools to accommodate a subpool freemain.
