#serial 1

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.
   AC_CHECK_FUNCS(DONE_WORKING_MALLOC_CHECK)
 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.
