Hello, When working on Clang 16 (and presumably GCC 14) porting [0], I noticed the following when building GNU grep 3.8: ``` configure:6215: checking for clang-16 option to enable C11 features configure:6230: clang-16 -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5 conftest.c:26:14: warning: a function definition without a prototype is deprecated in all versions of C and is not supported in C2x [-Wdeprecated-non-prototype] static char *e (p, i) ^ conftest.c:246:3: error: call to undeclared library function 'free' with type 'void (void *)'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] free (ia); ^ conftest.c:246:3: note: include the header <stdlib.h> or explicitly provide a declaration for 'free' 1 warning and 1 error generated. [...] ```
Tracing it through, it looks like there's a missing <stdlib.h> include for free() in autoconf's lib/autoconf/c.m4 (_AC_C_C99_TEST_GLOBALS).
