Summary:
SYMPTOMS
The return value for the _bheapseg() function is documented
incorrectly on page 147 of the "Microsoft C Reference" for versions
6.0, 6.0a, 6.0ax, and 7.0; in the online help for C 6.0, 6.0a, and
6.0ax; and in the online help for QuickC versions 2.5 and 2.51.
The online help for C/C++ 7.0 is correct.
RESOLUTION
On page 147 of the "Microsoft C Reference," the line that reads
Returns The selector for the newly allocated segment
if successful; -1 if not.
should read as follows:
Returns The selector for the newly allocated segment
if successful; 0 (_NULLSEG) if not.
The online help mentions the correct return value for the
_bheapseg() function in the "Summary" section, except that it
specifies NULLSEG instead of _NULLSEG. The paragraph in the
"Description" section titled "Return Value" incorrectly documents
the return value as -1.
