Warning Implicit Declaration Of Function C

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign function declared implicitly error in c up How to turn “implicit declaration” warnings in $CC into errors? up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 (I first started writing C programs in somewhere around 1993. Times were different back then, compilers may have been different, but I recall
Wimplicit-function-declaration
that when one attempts to refer to a C function that is not declared, one gets an error. Additionally, if the function is later defined, perhaps in another translation unit, and the "signatures" don't match, then you get another error.) I am currently using GCC 4.4.3. I am perplexed as to why GCC is so forgiving on me (intentionally in the example) mismatching (optional) declaration of bar and its definition in bar.c which obviously will result in an fatal adressing error - since bar gcc disable warning wants an address and is given an integer, it ends up de-referencing that integer as an address. A strict compiler, or so I think, would abort on me with an error. Am I missing something? My build command line is as follows: cc -o foobar -g -Wall -std=c99 -fexec-charset=ISO-8859-1 -DDEBUG foo.c bar.c With foo.c: int main() { int a; bar(a); return 0; } and bar.c: void bar(int * a) { *a = 1; } I have intentionally omitted declaration of bar and also intentionally pass it an integer (could be anything really) instead of an address as it's actual definition would require. The bottomline for me is: because $(CC) does not stop me, I end up with a segmentation fault (x86, Ubuntu 10.04). I am aware that a compliant C (C99?) compiler would implicitly create an int bar(void) declaration for bar if none found, but in this case that's obviously not what I want at all! I want to protect myself from kinds of errors where I make the human mistake of mismatching declarations and definitions or omitting the former altogether. I tried to instead compile-only - with -c compiler switch, but it doesn't matter - it still succeeds with warnings. The linker might barf though, but I want the compiler to stop me before that happens. I do not actually want to turn my warnings into errors with say -Werror, because: I could have included the wrong float bar(double a); at the top of foo.c, which elim

For example: int main() { fun(2, "21"); /* The compiler has not seen the declaration. */ return 0; } int fun(int x, char *p) { /* ... */ } You need to declare your function before main, like this, either directly or in a header: int fun(int x, char *p); share|improve this answer edited Dec 9 '11 at 3:53 answered Dec 9 '11 at 3:50 cnicutar 122k13193256 6 As an addition if you have given the prototype check that it isn't just a typo. Also if its from an external library check that you have included it. –smitec Dec 9 '11 at 3:53 14 Why is this a warning and not an error? –Flimm Nov 21 '13 at 16:15 I cannot run the code after I get this warning. So it behaves like an error. –Mien Jan 21 '14 at 13:36 @Flimm, C99 and C89/C90 has different setting for this &nda
risky or suggest there may have been an error. The following language-independent options do not enable specific warnings but control the kinds of diagnostics produced https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html by GCC. -fsyntax-onlyCheck the code for syntax errors, but don't do anything beyond that. -fmax-errors=nLimits the maximum number of error messages to n, at which point GCC bails out rather than attempting to continue processing the source code. If n is 0 (the default), there is no limit on the number of error messages produced. implicit declaration If -Wfatal-errors is also specified, then -Wfatal-errors takes precedence over this option. -wInhibit all warning messages. -WerrorMake all warnings into errors. -Werror=Make the specified warning into an error. The specifier for a warning is appended; for example -Werror=switch turns the warnings controlled by -Wswitch into errors. This switch takes a negative form, to be implicit declaration of used to negate -Werror for specific warnings; for example -Wno-error=switch makes -Wswitch warnings not be errors, even when -Werror is in effect. The warning message for each controllable warning includes the option that controls the warning. That option can then be used with -Werror= and -Wno-error= as described above. (Printing of the option in the warning message can be disabled using the -fno-diagnostics-show-option flag.) Note that specifying -Werror=foo automatically implies -Wfoo. However, -Wno-error=foo does not imply anything. -Wfatal-errorsThis option causes the compiler to abort compilation on the first error occurred rather than trying to keep going and printing further error messages. You can request many specific warnings with options beginning with ‘-W’, for example -Wimplicit to request warnings on implicit declarations. Each of these specific warning options also has a negative form beginning ‘-Wno-’ to turn off warnings; for example, -Wno-implicit. This manual lists only one of the two forms, whichever is not the default. For further language-specific options also refer
