Re: Tn5250 compile under IBM Aix 5.3

If this were the case, it would manifest itself on all systems (not
just
AIX).

I'm gonna try to build this thing in PASE and see what I get.

I can only come up with one scenario that might produce the "warning:

this on AIX 5.3, given that<stdlib.h> is included in the source.

That would

be the situation where some piece of code (perhaps a macro) uses the

malloc

function before<stdlib.h> is included. See the following example:

void *myFunc(int size) {
void *ptr ;
ptr = malloc(size) ;
}

#include<stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char *dummy ;
dummy = myFunc(1024) ;
}

This could be innocently manifest with code that would look like

this:

#include "myFunc.h"
#include<stdlib.h>

(where myFunc.h incorrectly contains the code rather than just a

prototype.)

Unfortunately, I have yet to prove this theory on an AIX 5.3 system.

Maybe

Alberto or Mark could?

Is it possible that repositioning the #include would provide benefit?

(I

have yet to see the source.)
