Display type:
What were you trying to do?
Compile a program.
What's wrong:
<sys/NLchar.h> declares free() at the end:
extern NLchar *_NCgetbuf();
#ifndef _KERNEL
#ifdef _NO_PROTO
extern void free();
#else /*_NO_PROTO */
extern void free(void *ptr);
#endif /*_NO_PROTO */
#endif /* _KERNEL */
#endif /* _H_NLCHAR */
What should have happened:
That's the job of <stdlib.h>. Using this include file with stdlib.h
will produces compiler errors because of this redeclaration.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
ANSI spec.
