use of malloc.h in KDE

[Andy Fawcett]

Hi,

I just installed FreeBSD 5.0DP2, which is basically a developer preview 
of the upcoming version, due for release next month.

I'm running test builds of KDE CVS on it, and one thing that has cropped 
up in a few places is the inclusion of <malloc.h>.

Previous versions of FreeBSD's compiler have generated a #warning saying 
that this is deprecated, and that <stdlib.h> instead.

The new version throws a #error, with the same basic message, causing 
some parts of KDE to fail to build.

So...

I am wondering how best to fix this in KDE, as I (and the rest of the 
KDE/FreeBSD team, as well as others) really would like to see FreeBSD 
5.0 as a supported OS, given that it is being released soon.

I could wrap the #include like this:

#if !defined(__FreeBSD__)
#include <malloc.h>
#endif

but that is so messy. I looked to see if there was an auto* check for a 
_working_ malloc.h, but I cannot find one.

I don't want to commit stuff that is messy, but are there any better 
alternatives?

Regards,

Andy
