Thread: compilation issues

Okay there is a strange thing happening with my Visual Studio. The thing is that when i compile the program it compiles fine but then later on i realised that there is a difference in the way the declaration of the functions is done and the way i am using the functions. So it should give me a compile error.

PS: I copied the Visual Studio folder from my other computer to the laptop and started using it . So can this be an issue with this.

Microsoft compilers are notoriously buggy. I'd recommend using gcc (cygwin or mingw), personally.

What should i do to ensure that it works correctly?

This was one of the problems that i faced and it was pointed out here in the forum that the signatures of the functions that i was using is different and that it should not compile . But for me it was compiling as well as running.

Also just as a precaution i did the repair and reinstall feature of MSVS as well but to no avail.

i think i am facing another wrath from my compiler in the current program as well. I really dont understand what can be wrong with it. But its giving me 11 errors in a function that contains hardly 10 lines.

[insert]

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define n 10

int parseint(char *a);

int main(int argc , char * argv[])
{
	int i, j;
	//int n = parseint(argv[1]);
	int a[n];
	int k;
	char *b = "123";

	k = parseint(b);


	printf("\n %d", RAND_MAX);
	for(i = 0;i<n;i++)
	{
		int temp = rand()%10;
		printf("\n%d", temp);
		a[i] = temp;
	}

	for(i = 0; i<n ; i++){
		for(j = 0; j<n-1 ;j++){
			if(a[j] > a[j+1]){
				int t = a[j];
				a[j] = a[j+1];
				a[j+1] = t;
			}
		}
	}

	printf("\n Array in ascending order");
	for(i = 0; i< n;i++){
		printf("\n %d", a[i]);
	}
	getch();
	return 0;

}

int parseint(char *a)
{
	char *b;
	int n;
	int i = 0;
	int sum = 0;
	char c = *a;
	b = a;
	n = c - '0';
	b++;
	if(*b != '\0')
	{
		i++;
		sum = sum*10 + n + parseint(*b);
	}

	if (i > 0)
		return sum;
	else
		return n;
}

The list of errors is as follows:

Please suggest something what should i do... I seem to be going mad now

Should i remove the application and try reinstalling it ? I like VS because i am pretty comfortable with it.
