Because calloc and malloc never return, they are not violating the spec. Nothing about the POSIX spec requires these functions to return. _If_ they return, they must either return a suitably-aligned pointer or NULL (unless they were passed a size of 0, in which case the result is implementation-defined). --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
