Question

I’m trying to following to application in OOP C but I get errors in my new.h file.

I am getting a bunch of “unexpected” errors.
Just about everything after the first ‘void’ is exepected.
Any ideas?

#ifndef NEW_H
#define NEW_H

#ifdef  __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

void * new (const void * type);
void delete (void * item);  


#ifdef  __cplusplus
}
#endif



#endif  /* NEW_H */

Answer 1

If you want to simulate the functionality of new in C as it in C++ then you are actually given wrong argument of new.
It should be const unsigned int or const size_t
because new is used in C++ as

int *p;
p=new (sizeof(int));

But here it’s type mismatch can’t convert int to const void *

For delete it’s fine because delete takes pointer as argument
