Bug ID: 86668
Summary: mixing ansi prototype with K&R definition
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: amrosalem820 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
I mix ansi prototype with K&R definition ,, I know it will be an error if the
parameters of the ansi form aren't compatible with the default promotions ..
my problem is when I wrote the ansi prototype outside main it compiled well !!
//this program compiled well
int fun (float x) ;
int main ()
{
fun (5.0);
}
int fun (x)
float x ;
{
return x ;
}
but when I wrote it inside main it gave an error as expected
//this program didn't compile and gave error "conflicting types for fun"
int main ()
{
int fun (float x) ;
fun (5.0 );
}
int fun (x)
float x ;
{
return x ;
}
why there is difference between writing prototype inside main or outside main
in this case ?
