+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 between 32 bits and 64 bits archs. Either use plain ints (generally
+ 32 bits wide) or long long ints (64 bits wide, 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:
http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html
+* 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
deactivate the whole logging mechanism, switching to printfs
instead. SimGrid becomes incredibly verbose when doing so, but it
you let you fixing the dynars.
