I did the same thing when I wrote my own linked list routines for PB. Unfortunately, another user pointed out that creating lots of linked lists based on their own heap was a bad idea (it used more system resources than just allocating memory normally).

I'll see if I can find the explanation.

I don't get the link between the problem discussed in the posted thread and my heap list. I use a heap list to prevent the threads' problem. I am only using one linked list (sorry, I don't want to convert my dynamic array template from C++ to PB) for one heap list. Depending on the size of the data blocks, not much linked list entries were used in a heap list. Further on you can modify the constants to enlarge the heap blocks allocated.

And the most important matter is that I don't use a newe heap, but only use a memory block allocated with AllocateMemory() :wink:

OK, then I probably did not understand the use of your code. Apologies.
