malloc error on pointer

[jt]

Looks good to me, I don't understand whey the error below. Any reasons why
this would fail to compile.

Running on AIX using the CC compiler.

struct sockaddr *cliaddr;

"tcpserver.c", line 88.10: 1506-068 (W) Operation between types "struct
sockaddr *" and "int" is not allowed.
cliaddr=malloc(addrlen); //<---------this is the error

Most likely compiler sees no declaration for 'malloc' function. Don't
forget to include 'stdlib.h' header file before using 'malloc' or any
other standard library functions declared in that file.

You forgot to #include <stdlib.h>.

Thank you! I missed putting in the stdlib.h file.

You forgot to
#include <stdlib.h>
so the (pre-C99) assumption that undeclared functions return ints.
