Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000054 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
55 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
56 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +000057 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000058 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
59 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
60 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
61 earlier.

611 generators that can't cope with hard-links.
