    Regarding Attributes

    Dear All,

    What is the wrong with my code...
    Code:
    #include "stdio.h"
    int i=0;
    void init()_attribute_((constructor));
    void deinit()_attribute_((destructor));
    void init()
    {
    i=10;
    printf("init:i=%d", i);
    }
    
    void deinit()
    {
    i=0;
    printf("deinit:i=%d\n",i);
    return 0;
    }
    
    int main()
    {
     i=i*2;
     printf("main i=%d\n", i);
     return 0;
     }
    i am getting two error as follows

    \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\eewrew\eewrew.cpp(7) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier '__attribute__'
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\eewrew\eewrew.cpp(7) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found

    Thanks for your help

    This "#include "stdio.h""
    This "void init()_attribute_((constructor));"
    and this "void deinit()_attribute_((destructor));"

    Hello could you explain me better way..i don't find any errors in these declarations...
    you mean attrubutes needed header file separately....

    1. __attribute__ is a GCC specific extension. It simply WILL NOT WORK with a microsoft compiler.

    2. You're using a C++ compiler to compile your C code. Rename your source files to have a .c extension.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Thanks for your reply

    Is there any way to achieve same thing in VC++ compiler?

    Though compared to the range of features offered by gcc attributes, it's a pretty weak set.

    Well i don't know what attributes are but im pretty sure they're not standard C. You're also meant to include stdio.h like this #include <stdio.h> not #include "stdio.h"
