I've duplicated your error.  At first I didn't believe
you, because I compiled your test on a machine with XP
Pro with no problem.  But then I realized I was still
using GCC version 3.2.1.  I reinstalled djgpp using
the latest sources, including GCC version 3.3, and now
I get the same error you do:

C:\djgpp\mystuff>gcc -W -Wall -pedantic -o conerr.exe
conerr.c

In file included from conerr.c:1:
c:/djgpp/include/conio.h:74: error: nonnull argument
references non-pointer operand (arg 1, operand 1)
c:/djgpp/include/conio.h:74: error: nonnull argument
references non-pointer operand (arg 1, operand 1)

I don't think the error is in conio.h necessarily - it
seems more likely that some djgpp-specific patch was
inadvertently omitted in the latest gcc build for
djgpp.

Can someone else with the latest build of djgpp
installed try the test case as well and see if they
are getting the same error?

Best regards,

Tom
