Storage Management APIs

ILE CEE APIs are provided for all heap operations. Applications can be written using either the storage management APIs, language-intrinsic functions, or both.

The storage management APIs fall into the following categories:

• Basic heap operations
  
  
• Extended heap operations
  
  
• Heap allocation strategies

See Allocation Strategy Type (CEE4ALC) for information on the attributes that are used to define the characteristics of the storage allocated for heaps.
