Big ol' varible

How can I create a varible that takes up 160Mb in memory and then unload it? (memory flush) Thanks in advance.

Couldn't you just keep allocating large blocks of memory until you get to 160MB?

Code:

---

#define BUFFER 65536
#define NUMBUFS 2560
// 160MB = BUFFER * NUMBUFS
char **pData;
int i;
pData = new char*[NUMBUFS];
for( = 0; i < NUMBUFS; i++) {
    pData[i] = new char[BUFFER];
}

for( = 0; i < NUMBUFS; i++) {
    delete[] pData[i];
}

delete[] pData;

Not totally sure about that, but it should do the trick...I expect the program will die before it allocates 160MB though.

Change the two

Code:

---

for( = 0; i < NUMBUFS; i++)

---

to

Code:

---

for(i = 0; i < NUMBUFS; i++)

---

An i is missing?;) ;)

Yep, they're missing...I moved the int i away from both and forgot to put it back again :rolleyes:
