HI.
I downloaded the zlib_pc library so that I can read .z files directly in my
programs instead of unpacking them using compress -d ...
I built the library w/o any problem. When I linked it to my program, I got
errors on unknown external symbols halloc and hfree. I grep'ed the zlib_pc
sources and found halloc and hfree. The calls looked similar to calloc and
free, so I changed it and it worked! I still am curious about halloc and
hfree. What are they supposed to be? I couldn't find any C book which talks
about these functions. Are they the remnants of some bygone era or
something?
Ciao
