Re: trying to understand: "warning: function declaration isn't a prototype"
Well, I explained why the warning is being emitted.
Yes, because I haven't suppressed it with a switch .. but what I want
to know is what the warning means.
Perhaps you could rephrase your question. Or perhaps you could
provide the exact error message and the line in the source code to
which it refers.
../../common/Headers/msExtern.h:60: warning: function declaration
isn't a prototype
------------------------------------
msTypes.h (#included by msDefs.h):
#define FAR
#define FarPtr(type) type FAR *
------------------------------------
msDefs.h (#included by msExtern.h)
typedef FarPtr(void) TApplContextPtr;
------------------------------------
msExtern.h:60:
TApplContextPtr CreateApplContext ();
------------------------------------
msLinux.c:
TApplContextPtr CreateApplContext()
{
LinuxContextPtr ptr =
(LinuxContextPtr) kmalloc(sizeof(LinuxContext), GFP_KERNEL);
//.. etc ..
return ptr;
}
The way I interpret this warning, its telling me that "FarPtr(void)
CreatApplContext();" resolves to " * CreateApplContext();" .. clearly
not a friendly prototype .. but which I suppose should probably be
something more like (void) *CreateApplContext(); .. meaning I should
fix the "#define FAR" to be "#define FAR void" instead ..
