malloc.h is deprecated in FreeBSD :-{
hi all,
after a long time...
correct me if i am wrong...
i was reading the FreeBSD Developer Handbook and the
Porters Handbook.. and it said that malloc.h is deprecated
in FreeBSD.. i think 4.3 and up....
I saw some code that was using malloc.h.. i just wanted to
pass a note.. do u think that when we release the source
for FreeBSD for example... we should change the malloc.h
bit to stdlib.h (thats the new one in use)...?
And when we build binaries... we should change the code or
make a patch which will change the malloc.h bit to the new
library and then make the actual binary...?
thanks,
regards,
hiten pandya

It wouldn't seem to be so important (so I ignored them). If the
vendors of supported compilers decide to remove malloc.h, I guess a
test would be needed.

Turns out that the ones that are missing the #ifdef's are all in Win32 or
OS2-related files--all the ones for Unix are correct. Should the
Win32/OS2 ones have the #ifdef's or not?

I think I spotted one the other day when Hiten first brought this up, but
I'd forgotten about it. I'll go fix it.

We would prefer not to have such low-level knowledge. We check at
configure time whether or not we can safely include malloc.h and
should only include it on such systems. Whether or not it is
deprecated on a particular platform isn't a problem.
Do you see it included anywhere without #ifdef HAVE_MALLOC_H around the
include? APR checks for the existence of malloc.h and is careful to
include it only if it exists and can be included without breaking the
compile.
