Still the same message from the compiler after changing malloc to ib_util_malloc.

I have some UDFs, that work with strings and there I use

char * returnstr = (char * ) malloc(31);

to allocate memory.

After reading your post, I tried to change that into

char * returnstr = (char * ) ib_util_malloc(31);

and then I also get the message from the compiler:

warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

I do not get any warning if I use malloc to allocate the memory for the string.

For ISC_QUAD i always get the warning, no matter if I use malloc or ib_util_malloc.
