Hi, thanks for the prompt reply. I think I cannot use malloc and free as I am programming in the kernel, so have to use MALLOC and FREE.The man page shows.. MALLOC(space, cast, unsigned long size, struct malloc_type *type, int flags) But then it goes on to describe the MWAIT and other such flags.. I mean i cannot make out the no. of arguments to be passed to MALLOC..and what would they stand for.. thanks Anish.
