That is correct, I just wanted to know If I had to free all allocated memory
"manually" on the calling level and up.

What should have I used? (My program may require several bytes in one place,
and several kilobytes on another, or vice versa, and there is no way to
predict how much memory will be needed in compile time)

As far as I understand it, TIGCC does not support BSS blocks, because TIOS
doesn't.
