MA_INQUIRE_AVAIL
NAME
MA_inquire_avail - find out how much free space is available
between the heap and stack regions
C SYNOPSIS
#include "macdecls.h"
Integer MA_inquire_avail(datatype)
Integer datatype; /* read-only */
FORTRAN SYNOPSIS
#include "mafdecls.h"
integer function MA_inquire_avail(datatype)
integer datatype
DESCRIPTION
MA_inquire_avail() returns the maximum number of elements of
type datatype that can currently be allocated in the space
between the heap and stack, in a single allocation request,
ignoring the partition defined at initialization.
Note that this might not be the largest piece of memory
available; the heap may contain deallocated blocks that are
larger.
DIAGNOSTICS
MA not yet initialized
MA_init() must be called before this routine is called.
invalid datatype: %d
datatype must be one of those listed in macdecls.h or
mafdecls.h.
RETURN VALUE
C: The number of elements, as described above.
FORTRAN: The number of elements, as described above.
