Do you know if there is a way to bring back malloc in its initial state, as if the program was just starting ?
reason : I am developing an embedded application with the nintendods devkitpro and I would like to be able to improve debugging support in case of software faults. I can already catch most errors and e.g. return to the console menu, but this fails to work when catching std::bad_alloc.
I suspect that the code I use for “soft reboot” involves malloc() itself at some point I cannot control, so I’d like to “forget everything about the running app and get a fresh start”.
The only way to get a fresh start is to reload the application from storage. The DS loads everything into RAM which means that the data section is modified in place.
