i've heard this from two people now. some students are being taught they should stay clear of malloc() and instead use calloc() because calloc() is the "old school" way of getting memory dynamically. they're taught that malloc() may not be present in all implementations of the C library. again, because calloc() is "old school". presumably, malloc() is ... new fangled. ;)
actually, both people used the words "old school", so i'm assuming that's some kind of quote by the professor. just for my own self-edification, does anyone know anything about this "old school" and "new school" business? i've never heard of it before. pete _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
