Program unable to print anything

[SasDutta]

Hi I have small pro c program

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sqlda.h>
#include <sqlcpr.h>

int main()
{


char ch;
int sal;


EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;

char oracleid[20] = "scott/lion";

EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;




printf("Connected to Oracle8i using Scott/Tiger\n");


EXEC SQL CONNECT :oracleid;


EXEC SQL WHENEVER sqlerror goto errexit;


printf("Connected to Oracle8i using Scott/Tiger\n");



errexit:

 printf("Connection failed");


}

To compile this program i used following commands in cygwin


$ORACLE_HOME/bin/proc test.pc
cc -I${ORACLE_HOME}/precomp/public -c test.c
cc -o test test.o -L $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/lib -l orasql11

With above command program is compiling and linking fine. But when i am running the exe, it is not printing anything. Even if it is not printing the printf statement at the very begining of the code

Can anybody help why this is happening

Thanks

1) Indentation is not optional. 2) int main means that main must return an int, put "return 0;" at the expected end of main. 3) Are you sure it's not printing and exiting faster than you can see?

I don't know what your first "EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE" section does, but it could be hanging right there and never actually reaching the first printf. So what actually happens when you run it? Does it just terminate back to the command prompt immediately, or does it just sit there?

Yes..Even if i have written printf and scanf statement, the progrom didn't display anything..

Thanks

Yes..It is terminating back to the command prompt immediately..

Lemme guess

You typed
test

Rather than
./test


test is a standard Unix/Linux tool to evaluate expressions for the shell.
UNIX man pages : test ()

[SasDutta]

No..I typed ./test

a) print a newline as well.
b) make sure main returns proper EXIT_SUCCESS / EXIT_FAILURE values, rather than just falling off the end.

When it does return, print the exit status from the shell.
./test
echo $?
