new-mem

Allocate memory.

new-mem [ define ] <memory> size <size>

new-mem allocates memory pointed to by <memory> of <size> bytes. If memory cannot be allocated, your application will error out.

If "define" is used, variable <memory> is created if it does not exist.

The pointer returned is void* and can be used for any purpose.

Allocate memory of 300 bytes:

new-mem define mystr size 300
