That's certainly reasonable, but we're not talking about your actual program here. We're talking about what the little test program -- the one that "configure" compiles. Surely this little test program can be written so that it will still work as desired even if <stdlib.h> is included. > However, there may be compelling reasons for autoconf's current > behavior If you find them out, please let me know. Like I said, I don't use C++, so I'm not the right guy to ask. It would be helpful if this stuff were written down as comments in the source.
