When I was a programmer I was used to include stdlib.h to use *lloc
functions, but not sure if this is the answer.

$man malloc
NAME
calloc, malloc, free, realloc - Allocate and free dynamic
memory

SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>

void *calloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
void *malloc(size_t size);
void free(void *ptr);
void *realloc(void *ptr, size_t size);

But might be.
