Unless I compile with -Wall, following code compiles with no warning with "gcc -g -o example example.c".
How should I tell that this code is broke after compile? ---------- # include <stdio.h> /*# include <stdlib.h>*/ /*Not to have this for atof is the bug*/ int main(int argc, char **argv) { float x=0; x=atof("123.456"); printf("%8.4f\n",x); return 0; } ---------------- $ ./example 1078984704.0000 $ ---------------- FYI: "nm example" produces: (Same with or without bug.) ... 080482bc ? _init 08048350 T _start U atof@@GLIBC_2.0 080494c8 d completed.4 ...
