Re: including sys/malloc.h produces errors?

I am in the process of converting code that uses malloc.h to include

Is that the right thing to do?

Kind of hard to answer a question like that in a vacuum (no source to look at; *not* that I'm asking for same, mind you :-}).

Generally, there are other 'standard' headers that take the place of 'malloc.h'. Whether 'stdlib.h' is the one you want depends on what you needed from 'malloc.h' and what is present in 'stdlib.h', and I don't know what you needed. However, if it compiles without complaints and works as you expect, that is a good sign that you are on the right track :-}

Justin
