My question is about the allocation of an array into memory. In particular: can I be sure (from the standard) of the fact that the elements (unsigned int, 16 bit) of an array (really big) are allocated contiguously into memory? Is (and how) this dependent on implementation/platform (0.S, processor, etc.)? Thanks in advance. Dave
