Huge pointers are required if you want to allocate a block bigger than 64k, and be able to traverse that whole block using normal...

Thanks, @doshea, for clarifying. Real mode memory handling can be tricky. In my case, unless I have misunderstood, I do not think I will...

I could be wrong, but I think huge pointers are only required if you want two pointers to the same memory location to always have the...

Thanks @mbbrutman. I opted for a full database in memory due to the scope of the project and its ultimate use. The program is designed...

With 'across segment' I meant that basically I won't have to worry about my dynamic allocation to be restricted within a segment of 64KB...

Sort of, yes. You don't necessarily need the huge memory model, you can use a single huge pointer (using the "huge" keyword) as...

Thanks for testing. I just want to make my game engine library (and the final exe) as small as possible, by being independent of any...

Thanks @kerravon. When you say: You mean, using farmalloc and the huge model in the case where I need to allocate a single block of...

Thanks @mbbrutman ! The missing index was a silly oversight. What you pointed out makes sense, but the program kept spitting out crazy...

Here is the test code. I do not launch the compiler via command line but within the IDE... I keep everything default. The only compiler...

I am programming a simple database in C for the IBM 5160, which has 640KB of RAM. I am compiling it with Open Watcom using a large...
