Offset Adress Reservation

[Daniel0175]

Hi M. Dowson,

i'm developping multiple modules for Fs and i wanna know what is the procedure to have my own offset adress in the FSUIPC module ?

In fact, i will need 400 differents Offsets. For example: from 6000 to 6400.

Thank you for the informations.

Daniel.

You send me an Email (petedowson@btconnect.com) stating the name of the product, your real name, and the number of bytes really needed.

In fact, i will need 400 differents Offsets. For example: from 6000 to 6400.

That's 1024 bytes, far more than most other projects put together! I would need you to justify such a large allocation, as space is limited. There are 8192 bits in 1024 bytes, enough for many more switches than anyone rightly needs. Check again what you really need. For values rather than switches one byte can contain -128 to +127 or 0 to 255, and so on. Consider the range of values you are using. don't use 64-bit double floating point values when not truly needed.

Most of the offsets in the range 4000-9000 are already assigned. I'm able to allocate some additional areas in the 7xxx and 8xxx areas, but certainly not 1024 bytes! I reluctant to start allocations beyond 9000 before I really have to -- i.e. when the 7xxx and 8xxx areas are fully taken.
