allocate space

[Chris_1980]

I have to allocate this

char            *s,        /*IN-File name             ****/
void            ***subs,   /*OUT -2D submatrix indices  **/
void            **storage, /*OUT -Submatrix stored here  */

use the code

 *storage = (void *) my_malloc(id, *n *local_rows * datum_size);
  *subs = (void **) my_malloc (id, local_rows * PTR_SIZE);

by using a function like this.

void *my_malloc( int id, int bytes)
{
  void *buffer;
  if((buffer = malloc ((size_t) bytes)) == NULL)
    { printf ("ERROR: MALLOC FAILED FOR PROCESS %d\n", id);
      fflush (stdout);
      MPI_Abort(MPI_COMM_WORLD,MALLOC_ERROR);
    }
  return buffer;
}

compile and take the error

matr_vect_mult.c:114: error: conflicting types for ‘my_malloc’

have u any idea whats wrong

char *s is not a problem sorry for copy this the error is for *storage and *subs

Have you declared the function my_malloc before you use it? I.e., put a prototype for it in a header file and included it in files that use the function.

Hello Thanks for the reply. I did that, recompile and took a warning for the my_malloc function


incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘malloc’

Any idea?

Many thanks

You did not #include <stdlib.h>
