Thread: LCC Compiler odd warning

Hey guys!

I recently updated code::blocks to the new version for my home laptop and I always compile using the LCC compiler.

Before the upgrade - this:

Code:

//....
int main(int argv, char* argc[])
{
}

Gave me this:

Code:

||=== Build finished: 0 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|
Output from Dir: $C://AdaSkylaRose/C/demo.c

However, the exact same definition of function main after the upgrade gave me this:

Code:

||=== Build finished: 0 error(s), 3 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|
Output from Dir: $C://AdaSkylaRose/C/demo.c
main.c|15|parameter 'pointer to pointer to char argc' is not referenced|
main.c|15|parameter 'int argv' is not referenced|
main.c|15|definition of function main is non C11 standard

I have never seen these warnings before. I do not know if the reason is the updating of code::blocks has forced the LCC compiler to update with it (thus implementing the new standard?) but if I change it to simply:

Code:

int main(void)

It compiles fine with no warnings. Anyone know or seen this before?

> int main(int argv, char* argc[])
The traditional names are argc and argv
Swapping them over is just weird.

Also, the warning about parameters being unused is to help writing clearer code.
- perhaps you forgot to use the parameter, and you need to keep editing.
- perhaps you never needed the parameter, so it's best to remove it altogether.

Thanks Salem.

I swapped the 'c' and 'v' around and will keep to that format from now on. I still do not understand why I am getting "unused" warnings about the parameters of the main function - maybe it's going to be part of the standard in C to have main written as

Code:

int main(void)

That's just a random guess, and I do understand what it means by the warnings it's just the one about the C standard totally threw me.

Thank you algorism. I really appreciate your input on the subject .

Oddly, I generally got the unused warning if for example if I declared but did not use a variable as you stated, just never about the parameters in function main. Anyways - thank you for your help and from now on I'll just define main as returning int with a void parameter list.
