I have a question.  I have gcc 3.3 on linux and if I declare   a file 
pointer then initialize it

  (FILE *)  ptr = (FILE *) malloc(....

i get lvalue assignments are deprecated.

     if I delete either (FILE *)  I get  converting pointer to an int.

this appears to be a bug.

is it? or is this  just a misunderstanding of malloc


do you see this kind of behavior in 4.
