Also I'm sure you can find an answer if you use search on stackoverflow.com –sharptooth Jan 29 '10 at 10:47 1 @Alexander Poluektov: actually, C99 follows the lead of C++ and (mistakenly in my view) gives you permission not to return a value from main() and it is equivalent to returning 0. It is sad and not, I think, helpful for the discipline of making sure that functions that return values always return a value. –Jonathan Leffler Jan 30 '10 at 6:00 | show 1 more comment 11 Answers 11 active oldest votes up vote 17 down vote Either define the function before main() or provide its prototype before main(). So either do this: #include int addNumbers(int a, int b) { //definition } int main() { //Code in main addNumbers(a, b); } or this: #include

I've seen environments where strdup() was declared in stdlib.h instead of string.h where it was supposed to be. Alternatively, you could be banging up against Microsoft's stupid attempts to "make C secure," by deprecating basic language functions. Do you happen to be compiling with a MS compiler? EDIT: Haha, nevermind. I forgot that strdup

P: n/a nick the following is my programming code and compile message why the warning message arise, have i done somethings wrong? #include typedef struct card{ int abc; }card; int main(){ card *d; d = (card*) malloc(sizeof(card)); return 0; } the compile message : --------------------Configuration: test - Debug-------------------- Compiling source file(s)... test.c test.c: In function `main': test.c:11: warning: implicit declaration of function `malloc' Linking... test.exe - 0 error(s), 1 warning(s) thanks!

Without the declaration in scope, C89 assumes malloc returns type int. With the declaration in scope, the compiler knows that malloc returns type pointer to void. The (card*) cast that you used, suppressed the warning that you would have gotten for assigning an int value to a pointer type. Add #include and lose the cast. -- pete Nov 15 '05 #2 P: n/a Martin Ambuhl nick wrote: the following is my programming code and compile message why the warning message arise, have i done somethings wrong? The error message test.c:11: warning: implicit declaration of function `malloc' tells you: you have failed to have a declaration for the function 'malloc' in scope. This is easily fixed with #include No doubt you failure to #include accounts for the silly cast on the return value from malloc() #include typedef struct card{ int abc; }card; int main(){ card *d; d = (card*) malloc(sizeof(card)); There is no excuse for the cast. If you put it in to stop complaints from the compiler, you treated the symptom rather than the problem. The normal form of this call is d = malloc(sizeof *d); And you should check the returned value. return 0; } These and similary issues are covered in the FAQ.
