Package: gcc-3.0
Version: 1:3.0-0pre010526
Severity: normal
Hi
Compiling the following short program
#include <stdio.h>
int main (int argc, char** argv) {
const char a[14] = "Hello World.\0";
printf("length of a = %s is %i\n", a, strlen(a));
return 0;
}
with gcc-3.0 yields a warning: "implicit declaration of function
`strlen'" although strlen is declared in stdio.h according to
the man page. The problem is, that gcc-3.0 does not read
/usr/include/stdio.h, where strlen is declared but reads
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.0/include/stdio.h instead. In this
file, strlen (and others, e.g. strncpy) are not declared.
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.0/include comes before
/usr/include in the include path of gcc-3.0:
gcc-3.0 -Wall -g -v bug.c -o bug

With gcc, this is not a problem: it just complains about strlen
not beeing defined, but with g++, this is a serious problem,
since it reports this as an error and stops compiling. (I am
using strlen in a C++ program.)

Philipp

Ooops. You are right. How embarassing. Using
#include <cstring>
in C++ fixes my problem. Thanks.
