dnl From Jim Meyering.
dnl Determine whether malloc accepts 0 as its argument.
dnl If it doesn't, arrange to use the replacement function.
dnl
dnl If you use this macro in a package, you should
dnl add the following two lines to acconfig.h:
dnl /* Define to rpl_malloc if the replacement function should be used. */
dnl #undef malloc
dnl
AC_DEFUN(jm_FUNC_MALLOC,
[
if test x = y; then
dnl This code is deliberately never run via ./configure.
dnl FIXME: this is a gross hack to make autoheader put an entry
dnl for this symbol in config.h.in.

fi
dnl xmalloc.c requires that this symbol be defined so it doesn't
dnl mistakenly use a broken malloc -- as it might if this test were omitted.
