DS.B to fill all available memory

Hello,

I wonder if there's a way to allocate all available ram to a buffer with a DC.B? Or any other method?

Thanks!

Raise your task priority, then do repeated AllocMem () (with big value), if if fail decrease memory request and repeat.
This give you in return the biggest memory chunk, so you have to repeat until it fail allocating even 8 bytes

With a dc.b directive in a non-fixed amount memory system is impossible

But WHY?!?
