Oh man, that brings back memories! Inside Macintosh. Pascal. …
The article got virtual memory wrong to a bit.. it got much better over the years and using relocatable handles fell by the wayside to more plain pointers.
- OnlyMortal 3y agoI was using MPW C, writing with 68k for performance pinch points, and malloc() was much faster than NewHandle() - faster than NewPtr() too. I guess there was some simple pre-allocated larger block that got parts handed out on demand. Not unlike a modern implementation. I still miss MPW Shell.
