It looks like you haven't declared a function, thus it defaults to integer
when you really want it to be returning a pointer. For example:
*** Shell output ***
radio<10>cat test.c
main(){ char *c_ptr; c_ptr = myfunc(); }
char *myfunc() { return (char *)0; }
radio<11>cc test.c
"test.c", line 4: warning: illegal combination of pointer and integer, op =
"test.c", line 8: redeclaration of myfunc
"test.c", line 9: warning: illegal combination of pointer and integer, op RETURN
radio<12>cat test2.c
main() { char *c_ptr; char *myfunc(); c_ptr = myfunc(); }
char *myfunc() { return (char *)0; }
radio<13>cc test2.c
radio<14>
*** End output ***
