Hi,
i am trying to port an C-Module to tcl9. In the module there has been used a
call to Tcl_Alloc to allocate memory for an char* variable dest_buf.
dest_buf = Tcl_Alloc(dest_size);
Now on tcl9 Tcl_Alloc has an return type of void, on tcl8 it has char*, so i
got the error: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘char*’
I did not find something about that in the migration guide.
Any ideas for resovling this issue ?
Possibly casting the void pointer to char*?:
dest_buf = (char*)Tcl_Alloc(dest_size);
