Could anyone explain to me why...
void send_struct(struct stuff *mystuff);
would cause the following warning in gcc
test.h:54: warning: \u2018struct stuff\u2019 declared inside parameter list
test.h:54: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
test.h:55: warning: \u2018struct stuff\u2019 declared inside parameter list
i have the method declared as shown above in both my .c and .h files.
It sounds like you did not declare or define struct stuff before that line.
i have it defined in a header file
#include "stuff.h"
which is at the top of the header file with the issue. It is defined as:
in stuff.hCode:struct stuff
{
int number;
int number2;
}
Where is the terminating semi-colon in your struct definition?
There is a semi-colon. I just didnt paste it. My code compiles just fine, but I am always stuck with this warning. I really think this may be a bug with gcc. I have numerous other similar function calls with the same structure and they are not issued warnings.
Why didn't you paste it? You are wasting everyone's time, including your own, by posting code that is not actually what you are trying to compile.Quote:
