Quoting David Nugent to Frank Adam:



FA> char *txt;char *pat;char *ptr;

FA> txt = (char*) malloc(strlen(buf)+1);

FA> pat = (char*) malloc(strlen(wrd)+1);



DN>Just out of interest, why cast the return from malloc()? If it is

DN>because it has no prototype, then you should do the /correct/ thing

DN>and include stdlib.h.



Eh? I thought it was because malloc returns a void*, and most compilers will

give you a warning because a char* is different to a void*.



... Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
