I would not condition the includes by __cplusplus, since the C
compiler will be happy too to have them. What do other people think?
I agree with you.
Also, ifdef and ifndef are banished from Autoconf, use only #if and
#if !.
That should be fine.
Here is some background about this (if you don't know it already).
Some people don't like to use #if with undefined symbols, on stylistic
grounds. I added the -Wundef option to GCC to cater to these people,
and if you compile with this option you'll get a warning for this
usage. Furthermore, if you compile with -Werror -Wundef the compiler
will reject the program.
However, -Werror -Wundef does not conform to the C Standard, and I don't
know of anybody who turns it on by default. So I don't think you need
to worry about it.
#if HAVE_STDLIB_H
# include <stdlib.h>
#else
char *malloc ();
#endif
or maybe shall we check that malloc is declared?
I wouldn't worry about that; I think it's unlikely that you'll run
across a host that declares malloc some place other than stdlib.h.
