Difference in Syslink Samples from what is Documented

In examining the sample code for the Gate implementation in Syslink 2_00_00_68,  I see a difference between what has been coded and the documentation.

if (status >= 0) {

GateMP_Params_init (&gateMPParams);

gateMPParams.remoteProtect = GateMP_RemoteProtect_SYSTEM;

gateMPParams.sharedAddr = NULL;

/* Calculate the size for System Gate and shared buffer*/

sharedMemSize = GateMP_sharedMemReq (&gateMPParams) + BYTES_TO_PROCESS;

/* Allocate memory for GateMP */

gateMPParams.sharedAddr = Memory_alloc (srHeap,

sharedMemSize,

0,

NULL);

if (NULL == gateMPParams.sharedAddr) {

Memory_free (srHeap,

(Ptr) (buffer),

BYTES_TO_PROCESS);

status = -1;

Osal_printf ("Memory_alloc failed."

" when allocating %x bytes!.\n",

sharedMemSize);

}

else {

/* Now create the actual gate */

Osal_printf ("Creating the GateMP\n");

gateMPParams.name = "HOSTGATE";

hostGate = GateMP_create (&gateMPParams);

GateMP_params_init(&gparams);

gparams.localProtect = GateMP_LocalProtect_THREAD;

gparams.remoteProtect = GateMP_RemoteProtect_SYSTEM;

gparams.name = "myGate";

gparams.regionId = 1;

gateHandle = GateMP_create(&gparams, NULL);

Notice that in the documented example there is no mention of allocating memory for the gate itself, is this something new, and is it required for Syslink? The included html documentation doesn't mention this either.
