NAME
AnalHeapBase - Obtains the base address of the analysis heap
SYNOPSIS
#include <cmplrs/atom.anal.h>
unsigned long AnalHeapBase(
void );
DESCRIPTION
An Atom tool's analysis routine calls the AnalHeapBase routine to obtain the base address of the analysis heap.
Although Atom's default location for the analysis heap is usually sufficient for most applications, it may sometimes conflict with an
address range used by the application.
Normally, an address conflict would result in a call to malloc returning zero to the Atom tool's analysis routine. The routine should
check for this case and, if it does occur, ask the tool's user to select another location for the analysis heap. The -heapbase flag to the
atom command accomplishes this.
RETURN VALUES
The AnalHeapBase routine returns an unsigned long containing the base address of the analysis heap.
