In article <61@amanue.UUCP> you write:
*>This is driving me nuts.  I can't get lint on my system to shut up about
*>malloc.

*>(1) Did /*NOSTRICT*/ get dropped somewhere?  If so, was this a mistake?  If
*>not, can someone tell me **WHY**??  (2) Absent /*NOSTRICT*/ how the devil
*>am I supposed to get lint to shut up about casting the value returned by
*>malloc() to a struct <whatever> *?  The cast makes it clear what I mean and
*>the man page says I can do it.

I do not know about /*NOSTRICT*/, but this is how I get malloc to shut up:

#ifdef lint
#define malloc(n) MALLOC(n)
extern long *MALLOC();	/* use a type with the most strict alignment */
#endif /*lint*/

You may need to define an empty "MALLOC" function to keep lint happy.
