Your code is wrong. There's only a useful value in errno after
something fails. This would be more reasonable:
int main(void)
{
int *i;
/* warn("errno: %d", errno); -- no error, nothing to check */
i = malloc(sizeof(int));
if(!i)warn("errno: %d", errno); /* only warn on failure */
free(i); /* -- free ignores NULL argument */
return (0); /* -- free cannot fail, no meaningful errno */
}
This isn't specific to FreeBSD, by the way. It's ANSI C.
