Problem with malloc()

[Moser, Dan (GE Trans)]

Stefan,

I got my newbie start with newlib by using the following two articles by Bill Gatliff and then a couple hours of playing around to get the basic pieces in place for my system.

Subject: Problem with malloc()



I have built a PowerPC executable with Newlib (+ libnosys.a). My problem is
that malloc() doesn't work. As far as I can see the problem is that the av_
array used by _malloc_r() contains garbage.

Is there some initialization that needs to be done?
