Ok - let's see if I get this right:
- the allocated memory
- called within a function
- assigned to a local pointer
Any malloc'ed memory is application global accessible. Assigning a pointer to
a variable doesn't allocate memory (the compiler and runtime libraries
already setup storage for the variable, at declaration time). So, I have no
idea what you mean with the "called within a function" part.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
