## 3. Memory layout

cc65 generated programs with the default setup run with unexpanded memory (RAM at $A000 - $BFFF may be used for the heap), which gives a usable memory range of $1000 - $1DFF. All ROM entry points may be called directly without additional code.

Special locations:

Text screen

  The text screen is located at $1E00 (as in the standard setup).

Stack

  The C runtime stack is located at $1DFF and growing downwards.

Heap

  The C heap is located at the end of the program and grows towards the C runtime stack.
