[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-6480) FreeBSD comparability: Location of malloc

["Mark Hindess (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6480?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12848612#action_12848612 ] 

Mark Hindess commented on HARMONY-6480:
---------------------------------------

According to the malloc(3) man page, <stdlib.h> is correct on linux too.  I have a vague memory of breaking the windows build fixing some of these in classlib in the past so I think the correct fix is to do:

#ifdef _WIN32
#include <malloc.h>
#endif

> While attempting to run the included unit tests (attempting to track down another issue), I got an error from a test header file.  Apparently the standard library declaration for malloc(size_t) and friends are now in <stdlib.h>, or where they should be.  On FreeBSD including <malloc.h> will generate a compiler error (via preprocessor), and directs you to include <stdlib.h>.  Those governing the header files are adamant about the modifications.
