nice saves me writing only the pk3 code in my tutorial

albeit a few small differences i think the code had different names

in your heap.c i should be able to rewrite those parts though.

and

#ifdef _WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#else
// to do
#endif

well if its linux

#ifdef _WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#else if defined(_linux)
#include<mman.h> // linux memory manager functions
#endif

allthough some modifications might be nessesary in the code where you wrote

#ifdef _WIN32
VirtualAlloc (ht->hunkbuffer + ht->used, 65536, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);
#else if defined(_linux)
// to do
mmap(*linux equivalent parameters*);
#endif

VirtualFree is munmap on linux the parameters for both are a bit different though.

Here are some links for people who want to know some more about how Linux does memory management.





Some links about memory allocation in general:

Neat.

It would be really cool if somebody wrote, tested and posted equivalent code for Linux; I could probably hack something together from documentation but I'm not in a position to test it and I couldn't stand over it.
