Re: [Gnustep-cvs] r31629 - in /libs/back/trunk: ./ Source/cairo/ Source/gsc/ Source/win32/ Source/winlib/ Source/x11/

[David Chisnall]

objc_malloc() and friends are GCC-runtime specific.  They are not supported by 
other runtimes.  If there is a reason for avoiding malloc(), using either 
NSZoneMalloc() or NSAllocateCollectable() should be the preferred indirection.
