Memory management under Win32

Discussion

Under Win32, memory management is pretty easy - you can pass in any plain old memory pointer for Miles to process. If you want your memory allocations to be compatible with MacOS 9 or DOS, though, you should use the AIL_mem_alloc_lock function. If porting isn't an issue, though, just use whatever memory allocator is convenient (malloc, resource locks, whatever).

For internal memory use, Miles allocates its own memory directly from the operating system. You can intercept these memory allocation requests with the AIL_mem_use_malloc and AIL_mem_use_free functions.
