MALLOC

 MALLOC (integer)

 Class:  Elemental function - Specific

 Allocates a block of memory.

 The argument must be of type integer.  This value is the size in
 bytes of memory to be allocated.  If the argument is INTEGER*8, a
 64-bit (P3) space is allocated.

 The result is of type INTEGER*8.  The result is the starting
 address of the allocated memory.  The memory allocated can be freed
 by using the FREE intrinsic function.

 This function cannot be passed as an actual argument.

 Examples:

 Consider the following:

 INTEGER(4) SIZE
 REAL(4) STORAGE(*)
 POINTER (ADDR, STORAGE)     ! ADDR will point to STORAGE
 SIZE = 1024                 ! Size in bytes
 ADDR = MALLOC(SIZE)         ! Allocate the memory
 CALL FREE(ADDR)             ! Free it
