Perhaps... I think it needs to take "void *" to avoid warnings:
static inline void free_and_null(void *ptrptr)
{
void **tmp = ptrptr;
free(*tmp);
*tmp = NULL;
}
...At least I needed to do that for "mog_free_and_null" in
cmogstored:
https://bogomips.org/cmogstored.git/plain/alloc.c?h=v1.6.0
But heck, maybe that's covering up for something else I got
wrong in cmogstored *shrug* I don't know all of C.
