Wimp_ ClaimFreeMemory

(SWI &400EE)
Entry
R0 0 to release
1 to claim
R1 Amount of memory required
Exit
R0 Corrupt
R1 Amount of memory available
R2 Pointer to start address, or 0 if not enough

Use

The purpose of this call is to claim a specific amount of the Wimp’s free memory.

Notes

This call is deprecated.

This call is similar to OS_ClaimScreenMemory. It claims all the memory in the memory in the free pool. The memory must be accessed in SVC mode, and Wimp_Poll should not be called while memory is reserved.
