Calloc problem

[chingfulan]

I have the following code and I can not figure out
why Stg2In returns a null pointer?
"Stg2In = (float *)calloc(9*Data Len, sizeof(float)); "
while
"Stg2Out = (float *)calloc(9*Data Len, sizeof(float)); "
is sucessful?

Can anyone Help?

Thx

1. Did you #include <stdlib.h>?

2. Don't cast the return value from 'calloc()'

3. Have you checked the return value from *every*
call to 'calloc()'?

4. Are you *sure* you want to use calloc() with floats?

5. why use float instead of double anyway?
