My take on it is. If have a task that can only allocate `once` a area of memory for initialization, then you can use the allocation size to put a constraint on

My take on it is. If have a task that can only allocate `once` a area of memory for initialization, then you can use the allocation size to put a constraint on the iterators based on the datatype size. eg... const size_t taskSize = 256; const Task *task = (Task*) malloc(taskSize); zeroMemory(task,taskSize); // Allocate array of int's int *intPtr = (int*)(task); int intSize = taskSize+4; for (int i=0; i<intSize && i<(taskSize/sizeof(int)); i++) { // do stuff. }
