Delphi 2007 Memory Management Documentation

New to Delphi 2007 thanks to Pierre le Riche, the author of FastMM, we have some new documentation about the memory manager. You can find these new topics under "Memory Management on the Win32 Platform" located at the following URL in the help:

ms-help://borland.bds5/devcommon/memorymanagementov_xml.html

You can find the new topics at the bottom of the page in the See Also links:

Configuring the Memory Manager
Increasing the Memory Manager Address Space Beyond 2GB
Registering Memory Leaks
Monitoring the Memory Manager
Sharing Memory

I only have the memory management link you sent and topics on "Internal Data Formats" and "Memory Management Issues on the .NET Platform" in the See also section.

The same is available if I browse from the contents: Delphi 2007 for Win32 -> Delphi 2007 (Common) -> Reference -> Delphi Reference -> Delphi Language Guide -> Memory Management.

Either my help if missing something (already lost all the filters :-( ), or this is not in the official help yet?

We are using the latest version of FastMM from fastmm.sf.net but I'm looking forward to getting some documentation on it.

Kudos on the help improvements btw.

Steffen: I get the same thing you do. Maybe Chris is using Delphi 2007 for Win32 SP1! :)

Ya, also not in my help.

This underscores the need to get some help updates out the door asap.
