+MALLOC
Don't use it, or you'll have to check the result (and do some dirty stuff
on AIX). Use xbt_malloc (or even better, xbt_new) instead.
do cast it to unsigned long before printing (and use %lu),
or use %zu.
+INTEGERS
+ Please avoid to use long ints. This is the source of many compatibility
+ problems betwwen 32 bits and 64 bits archs. Either use plain ints (generally
+ 32 bits width) or long long ints (64 bits width, at least). At last resort
+ consider using integer types defined in C99 by <stdint.h>.
+
PRINTF pointer difference (FIXME: advertise %td instead?)
printf ("diff = %ld\n", (long) (pointer2 - pointer1));
* Your commit message should follow the git habits, explained eg here:

+* When you add/remove files, and/or make changes in the lists of files to build,
+ please check that "make distcheck" still succeeds. This is needed to ensure
+ that the generated archive is consistent.

* If you want to debug memory allocation problems, here are a few hints:
- disable compiler optimizations, to have better backtraces;
- disable the mallocators, or it will be hard to match malloc's with
