For one thing, you have not shown me *your* native part.

Second, see below.

What's wrong with it?  What do you think you are doing, every time you use
malloc(), e.g.:

 buffer = (some cast) malloc(...);


All I am doing is the same, and is perfectly legal ANSI/ISO C.  Prove me wrong
with a specific ISO C specification clause, if you claim otherwise.
