Re: Invalidate / GC-marking after close of large data blocks

> And what is preventing you from using the same alloc / free that Lua is using?
It is my general caution against using dynamic memory in single chip
microcontroller firmware... this is for control of large machines ...
it is just a security concern.

(I also program sofware for Windows PCs, there of course usage of
alloc/free is used abudandtly).

For Lua I just reserve a very big heap - as large as possible for the
uController I use.

If only Lua uses this, it is still quite well under control - e. g.
easy to check for free memory etc. . If I would use free/ alloc also
for other things, this would get much more tricky... .
