All and everyone,

Is it permissible to do calloc with the number of elements being a  
function, e.g. calloc (a+b-1, sizeof(float))? I have done this on a Cray  
Y-MP, SGI and NeXT but the Convex does not like it.

Thanks for the help,

Dan (dan@ennex1.eng.utsa.edu)

"sizeof(float)" would be interpreted at compile time by the compiler and
replaced with "4".  I have used it in the same manner and it works.  
What specifically doesn't work when you try it?
