Error allocating memory

[jenya7]

int xc_init()
{
    #define int intptr_t;
    
    int poolsize;                 // default size of text/data/stack
    int *text,    
    
    poolsize = 1 * 1024;
    
    if (!(text = malloc(poolsize)))  //error: assigning to 'intptr_t *' (aka 'int *') from incompatible type 'void *'
        return -1;
    
    
}

here on malloc I get - error: assigning to 'intptr_t *' (aka 'int *') from incompatible type

@jenya7 Basic C/C++: malloc() returns void*, so cast it to int*

@jsulm said in Error allocating memory:

I see. Thank you.

and you shouldn't use malloc() in c++ anyways.

const size_t intCount = 1000U;
int* intPtr = new int[intCount];
.
.
.
delete [] intPtr;
