C code with malloc doesn't compile!
Author
Hello, in the following code, the compiler returns the message:
"invalid conversion from `void*' to `int*' " and the code doesn't compile!
So, I have tried this: p = (int)malloc(40 * sizeof(int)); and it doesn't compile too!
What's wrong?

My understanding is that you're not supposed to need to cast returns from malloc() any more, and that in fact you shouldn't for "good style" any more (because it will "hide the error of not including stdlib.h"; I don't know the details there though).
How old is your compiler?

Zahlman, I'm using the new version of DevC++ (4.9.9.0) that comes with newer mingw.
Aha. fallenang3l is right then. Use an actual C compiler for C code if you can; try not to be messing around with malloc() and free() in a C++ environment. Bad mojo.
