This is a non-POSIX/ISO-C header. It is ok to include this on Linux, but it
is obsolete on BSD; FreeBSD even throws an error if you include it with
__STDC__ defined. Every system should nowadays have malloc() defined in
stdlib.h.
Diff is largely mechanical, replacing malloc.h with stdlib.h where it is not
yet included anyway.
Patch from Ulrich Wilkens <mail@uwilkens.de>
I have a little patch for a problem that I found when I tried to
compile dthelp on 64bit FreeBSD. It could also be a problem on other
64bit systems. The problem is that the program context compiles but
fails running with segmentation fault.
context uses the function m_malloc() which is missing a correct
prototype sometimes. Then it's treated to return int instead of void *
. On 64bit systems this cuts off the higher 32 bits because void * is
64bit whereas int is only 32bit.
Note, there are still some issues with certain programs appearing not
to use their localized message catalogs properly, while others work
fine.
Also, in order to build these now, you need to make sure you have
installed the DE, ES, FR, and IT locales before building or you will
get failures. On [k]ubuntu, at least, you can install these with the
following commands:
sudo locale-gen de_DE
sudo locale-gen es_ES
sudo locale-gen fr_FR
sudo locale-gen it_IT
