I am using the atexit function for one of my c codes and everything works fine except I get an error message from the compiler which reads:
warning C4113: 'void (__cdecl *)()' differs in parameter lists from 'void (__cdecl *)(void)'
What does this mean? It refers to this line of code:
I have tried to prototype this but it brings more warnings. Maybe I am doing this wrong. What would be your coding to prototype this function?Code:atexit(thank_you);
Thanks
Stuart
Are you compiling your C code with a C++ compiler?
The function passed to atexit needs to be a C function, not something name mangled by a C++ compiler.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Did you prototype your function like this
rather than like this?Code:void thank_you();
There's a difference. void inside the parameter list means, to C and C++ compilers, that the function takes no parameters. Nothing inside the parameters list means (to a C compiler) that no information about the parameters is available -- the function could take no arguments or twenty. (To a C++ compiler, nothing inside the argument list is the same as void.)Code:void thank_you(void);
