one of three types: Compiler Errors Linker Errors Run Time Errors lets examine these three types of errors in more gcc flag detail. Compiler Errors Compiler errors are caused by incorrect syntax. This means that you have not followed the basic rules of C. These basic rules are things like: putting a semicolon http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2968374/list-of-all-gcc-diagnostics at the end of a line writing a proper function header passing the correct number and type of arguments to a function matching up all pairs of braces {} and parentheses () not using variables that you haven't declared declaring all variables at the top of a function many, many more When you run the compiler on your code it first does any preprocessing (that is http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~cs240/misc/errors.html any line that begins with #). Then it checks the syntax of your code. In other words it makes sure that you have followed all the rules of C. If you haven't it prints out an error so that you can fix your syntax. Unfortunately most new users find the messages sent back from gcc confusing. So we will go over some common gcc error messages, what they mean, and how to fix them. General compile-time error and warning description In C, a compilation error is usually fatal, meaning that the C compiler cannot compile the source code. A warning, on the other had, is usually just that. The compiler has identified that there may be a problem, but it can produce object code anyway. Warnings should not be ignored, because they usually do indicate that there is something wrong with the program, and it is likely to behave differently from what you would expect. Error messages and warnings are preceded by the program file name and function in which the error was encountered. For example, prog.c: In function `main': indicates that the error was encountered in the program file prog.c, and specifically in function main. The next

This error message indicates that the compiler has encountered a variable name which does not have a corresponding declaration. It can be caused by a missing declaration, or a typing error in the name. Variable names are gcc error case-sensitive, so foo and Foo represent different variables. To keep the output short, only the first use of an undeclared variable is reported. Example: int main (void) { int i; j = 0; /* undeclared */ return j; } The variable j is not declared and will trigger the error `j' undeclared. parse error before `...' syntax error These error messages occur when the compiler encounters unexpected gcc error message input, i.e. sequences of characters which do not follow the syntax of the language. The error messages can be triggered by a missing close bracket, brace or semicolon preceding the line of the error, or an invalid keyword. Example: #include

Hi, I mostly use Visual C++ which gives you a C#### or LKN#### number that you can refer to on the MSDN to get more info about a certain error or warning... I'm trying to compile some code (that I didn't write) on Linux with gcc (with the -Wall option) and I'm wondering if there is a good site that gives more details about the warnings I'm getting? 10-03-2007 #2 Dave_Sinkula View Profile View Forum Posts Just Lurking Join Date Oct 2002 Posts 5,005 This may give you a start: http://icecube.wisc.edu/%7Edglo/gcc-warnings.html I usually just do a search with the warning text within double-quotes. 7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one. 40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.* 10-03-2007 #3 brewbuck View Profile View Forum Posts Officially An Architect Join Date Mar 2007 Location Portland, OR Posts 7,396 Originally Posted by cpjust Hi, I mostly use Visual C++ which gives you a C#### or LKN#### number that you can refer to on the MSDN to get more info about a certain error or warning...

Can you give an example of a confusing warning you've seen? I find that GCC's warnings are usually quite good. 10-03-2007 #4 dwks V
