Thread: 'errno' undefined?

'errno' undefined?

From
Philip Warner
Date:
I get the following when building cvs:

gcc -I../../include  -O2 -g -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations   -c pqformat.c -o pqformat.o
pqformat.c: In function `pq_endmessage':
pqformat.c:219: `errno' undeclared (first use in this function)
pqformat.c:219: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
pqformat.c:219: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [pqformat.o] Error 1

Any ideas?

Is that with the be-pqexec removal I just did?  I pulled out a couple
of header inclusions that I thought were no longer necessary --- and
they weren't on my platform.  But maybe something in there was needed
on yours.  Where does errno get declared in your system's headers?

errno.h

Hmm.  The stuff I just removed doesn't look like it would cause an
inclusion of errno.h.  Which other system headers include errno.h
on your box?

The answer probably is that pqformat.h needs to include <errno.h>,
but I'm just curious to understand why it didn't before ...

Well, I noticed that <stdlib.h> pulls in <errno.h> on my box, so that
explains why I didn't see a problem.  I still don't see the connection
between the includes I killed and <errno.h> on your box, though...
curious.  Anyway I committed the change to pqformat.c.

The ANSI C standard says errno is declared in <errno.h>.  Since ANSI C
also says that the standard header files are independent, it is poor
form for your system to have included <errno.h> via <stdlib.h>.

(Yeah, since you've already added <errno.h> this is a bit pedantic.)
