Dalibor,
This would require a patch that looks for whatever malloc.h is #included for in stdlib.h and prefers it in stdlib.h. So it isn't as simple as s/malloc/stdlib/.
The question is how necessary is it to support non-ANSI C. Stdlib.h is ANSI C standard while malloc.h is a legacy header. The header is included in order to obtain prototypes for malloc() and free(). If the compilation environment is ANSI C, malloc.h should never be included.
Probably this is sufficient:
#if defined(HAVE_STDLIB_H) #include <stdlib.h> #else #if defined(HAVE_MALLOC_H) #include <malloc.h> #endif #endif
You may want to add an error message if none of the headers can be found to go sure that you don't get weird 'C compiler can't find declaration, so it makes assumptions about parameter types' problems:
#if defined(HAVE_STDLIB_H) #include <stdlib.h> #else #if defined(HAVE_MALLOC_H) #include <malloc.h> #else #error "Can not find a header declaring malloc." #endif #endif
if this is o.k., I'll submit a patch.
cheers, dalibor topic
