Hi, src/alloc.c contains: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #ifdef ERROR_CHECK_MALLOC [...] #define MALLOC_BEGIN() \ do \ { \ assert (!in_malloc); \ assert (!regex_malloc_disallowed); \ in_malloc = 1; \ } \ while (0) [...] #else /* ERROR_CHECK_MALLOC */ #define MALLOC_BEGIN(block) [...] #endif /* ERROR_CHECK_MALLOC */ --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- When ERROR_CHECK_MALLOC defined, compiling is ok - MALLOC_BEGIN is running whithout args in functions xmalloc() and xcalloc(). When is not defined, XEmacs is not compiled. This problem is reproduced, when XEmacs 21.5.19 build on the FreeBSD 4.x systems. 2005-02-23 Andrey Slusar <anrays(a)gmail.com&gt; * alloc.c (MALLOC_BEGIN): MALLOC_BEGIN is not required args.
