Re: Static or OTF creation?

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

   IMHO, I would create the pages only when the user request it.  I take this
opinion based on the following.

   int kakadoodle()
   {
           char* p = malloc(large number)'
           
            if( something )
                  p is used
           else  /* p is not used */

        free(p)
    }

    On above, you are requesting memory that might never be used, This will
slow down your app and make the code a bit ureadable.

    I prefer:
   int kakadoodle()
   {
          char* p = null
           
            if( something )
                  malloc p and useit.
           else  /* p is not used */

        if(p) free p;
    }

   Again,  if you app is small, it really might not make a difference.
