Thread: Error with strcpy and strcat

All im trying to do is add a string to strcpy and concatenate with a short. But i am getting two error doing this the code is below

Code:

 

struct local_stack_def
  {

   char *result;
   char delims[3];
   char user_id_E[200];
   short user_maxlen, range_eulm, imp_eulm, len_eulm;
   char msg_eulm[400];
   /*MORE VARIABLE REMOVED TO SHORTEN LENGTH*/
  };
 
  short  pool_err;
  struct local_stack_def *l;


  l  = POOL_GETSPACE_(i_exit_cb->Pool_addr,sizeof(struct local_stack_def),&pool_err );


    /*MORE VARIABLE REMOVED TO SHORTEN LENGTH*/

  if (l->resultFR != 0)
     {
      l->range_eulm= 1501;
      strcpy(l->msg_eulm,"FILENAME_RESOLVE_ ERROR - ERROR#:");
      strcat(l->msg_eulm, l->resultFR);

With the strcpy and strcat i get these errors

Code:

 strcpy(l->msg_eulm,"FILENAME_RESOLVE_ ERROR - ERROR#:");     
Warning 207: address pointing at code space is taken

 strcat(l->msg_eulm, l->resultFR);
     Warning 86: argument 2 conflicts with formal definition

The second warning is telling you that resultFR is not a char pointer.

Not sure about the first one, but then again POOL_GETSPACE_ isn't standard C so it's probably related to that. The docs for your compiler say this about the message :

"The address of an object that resides in code space is taken. Use of this address is
valid only within the same code segment as the object."

Hopefully that means more to you than it does to me :/

Look into using sprintf() instead of strcpy() and strcat() ... neither can add a number to the end of a string without conversion.
