C++ Undefined Reference
a minute: Sign up redefinition of struct in linux GCC up vote 0 down vote favorite I am a beginner in programming.I try to compile a c program in linux, gcc written by the others and got the following error . cmd.h:145: error: redefinition of ‘struct stat’. It seems somebody has defined the struct 'stat' more than once. But since there are
#ifndef
lots of code files, i dont know how to solve it.Can anyone advise me on that. Thanks c linux gcc share|improve this question edited Mar 9 '11 at 9:03 asked Mar 9 '11 at 8:52 user647868 315 How do you include files, where struct is defined? –pmod Mar 9 '11 at 9:07 @user647868 If you're going to completely change your question, please ask a separate question, perhaps deleting the old one, rather than editing the old one -- that completely confuses the heck out of people and results in what look like erroneous answers.

You can do this in 2 ways. 1) At the top of your header files put: #pragma once Or 2) if your compiler doesn't support that, put at the top/end of your header files: #ifndef _MYFILE_H_ #define _MYFILE_H_ ... #endif Replace MYFILE with the name of your file, and replace http://stackoverflow.com/questions/707920/gcc-compiler-error-redefinition-previously-defined ... with the contents of the header file. share|improve this answer edited Apr 2 '09 at 7:11 unwind 254k38332460 answered Apr 2 '09 at 1:18 Brian R. Bondy 198k82474572 1 I think that #pragma only works in VC++, not in gcc. The #define trick is portable. –Gorpik Apr 2 '09 at 7:19 supoprted by gcc and vc++ –Brian R. Bondy Apr 2 '09 at 10:29 Wikipedia says #pragma once is supported by VC++ and gcc en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pragma_once . –Max Lybbert Apr 3 '09 at 20:48 #pragma works fine with gcc.. I'm using it at this very moment after I reading about it and it solved a ton of errors! –mmoment Sep 7 '12 at 14:13 add a comment| up vote 9 down vote The error means that there is a symbol that has been defined in one place and an alternate definition has been made in another place. This can occur if in cases like: if you define two functions with the same name if there is a mismatch between a function and it's prototype you call a non-trivial function before it has been defined, and without a prototype In this last case there will be a mismatch between the real function and the "implicit declaration" that the compiler assumes when it doesn't have a prototype to use. These situations can be avoided by: Ensuring that function prototypes are only declared once Ensuring that all fun

I error redefinition have a union and a structure with the same nested structure from an existing code base: typedef union _MyUnion { unsigned int A; struct _MyNestedStruct { int field } MyNestedStruct; } MyUnion; and typedef struct _MyStruct { struct _MyNestedStruct { int field } MyNestedStruct; } MyStruct; If I compile this under the Green Hills Compiler (GHC), then there are no problems. Compiling under GCC gives the error "error: redefinition of 'struct _MyStruct'". First of all, why was I able error redefinition of to successfully compile with a named structure as a nested structure? I suspect that GHC is compiling with some C++ rules, or it supports named structures in a nested structure. Second, what would allow me to successfully compile without any significant code changes? I know I can just delete the _MyNestedStruct from the nested structure, but does this have any consequences? c struct unions share|improve this question edited Nov 8 '12 at 0:12 timrau 17.1k32450 asked Nov 5 '12 at 23:58 Joshua 280212 Maybe you are really redefining the struct, because I can compile it just fine in many GCC distribuitions here. –Flávio Toribio Nov 6 '12 at 0:20 Is there any reason that you change MyNestedStruct to a declaration instead of a definition? That is, define _MyNestedStruct external to the containing union/struct, then declare an instance of the struct inside the container –cowboydan Nov 6 '12 at 0:23 @FlávioToribio: Maybe you are compiling it as C++, because I get the error. –rodrigo Nov 6 '12 at 0:24 I just noticed he used the same struct name and probably put the two typedefs in the same source. –Flávio Toribio Nov 6 '12 at 0:26 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 7 down vote accepted In C there are no namespace scopes, implicit or explict, so all the structure names share the
