I am having trouble compiling following program ---------------- extern "C" { #include <rpc/types.h> } #include <String.h> main() { printf("done\n"); } ---------------- I get the msg: make -k g++ -c -I/usr/local/gnu/lib/g++-1.35.1.lib/g++-include l.cc /usr/local/gnu/lib/g++-1.35.1.lib/g++-include/std.h:119: conflicting types for `void *malloc (unsigned int)' *** Error code 1 --------------- The problem is that <rpc/types.h> has extern char* malloc(); => extern char* malloc(...) This declaration conflicts with the void *malloc(unsigned int); Is there a way to tell the compiler that both declarations refers to the same malloc function ? How is overload resolution done in g++ ? I would appreciate any information in this regard. Thanks, Jags sja@cs.purdue.edu
