[concordance-devel] -ansi and strdup prototype
Under Fedora 8 at least (and I'm sure others), compiling concordance.c gives this warning: concordance.c: In function ‘parse_options’: concordance.c:589: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strdup' Theoretically, strdup is prototyped by the include of string.h. However, since concordance is built with -ansi, this prevents string.h prototyping strdup, since it isn't actually an ANSI standard function. It looks like one can define things like _SVID_SOURCE to request SVID extensions, (or other macros for other extensions that also define strdup), to request a prototype of the function. Or, perhaps switch -ansi to something else. The warning isn't a big deal, but I think gcc 4.3 will error in this situation instead of warning, which will fail concordance builds for Fedora 9... - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

No, not unless you do -pedantic-error or something similar, as far as I know. If you can find an easy way to squash the error, by all means - I just haven't had time to do it yet. -- Phil Dibowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open Source software and tech docsInsanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ Never write it in C if you can do it in 'awk'; Never do it in 'awk' if 'sed' can handle it; Never use 'sed' when 'tr' can do the job; Never invoke 'tr' when 'cat' is sufficient; Avoid using 'cat' whenever possible -- Taylor's Laws of Programming signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
