#!EC #!N #!N Data Explorer recognizes two kinds of memory--local and 
global. Stack variables and memory allocated by  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   DXAllocateLocal() #!EF are 
local to the processor. Memory allocated by  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   DXAllocate() #!EF (including 
all Objects) is global and may or may not reside in 
the processor. (On some platforms, such as those without per-processor local 
memory, there is no distinction between global and local.) #!N #!N 
Data Explorer's memory-allocation routines, which provide hooks for debugging, also distinguish 
between local and global allocation. These, rather than the standard system 
memory-allocation routines (such as  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   malloc() #!EF ), are recommended, to 
ensure consistent management of memory. #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N
