| Subject: | calloc vs malloc |
Is the cfree function really different from free? I mean all that calloc does is allocatate memory and initialize it as zero, right?? so why does it need a different free() routine? what goe wrong if you free memory allocated the calloc with free(or delete) ? Dooes it mess up the internals of the libc library? I'm more curios about what djgpp does though. -Kevin Rogovin
