How to return a failure if no segment is found?

[kraftwerk1611]

Hi,

What is the right way for function alloc()to return a failure to the caller, when no memory segment of the required size is found?

Is returning a value of 0 ok, when false=0 and true=-1?

thanks.

The specification says that you should call Sys.error(6) if the allocation request cannot be satisfied.

That said, my Memory.jack has a returnErrors(boolean) function that enables alloc() to return 0 when memory requests cannot be satisfied.
