Thread: Compiler error: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strdup'

Hi guys,

When I compile this code, I'm getting the following error:
warning: implicit declaration of function 'strdup'

I've included <string.h> and <wchar.h> so I shouldn't be getting the error right?

The line of code in question is:

Code:

//some declarations inside a static function
simple_path = strdup(path);

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks


EDIT: Here's a entire function until the point of the error:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <wchar.h>
 
/* some other functions*/
 
static Item * parse(Item * const root, Item * const curr, char * path)
{
    char *simple_path;
    char *a, *b;
    char temp[80] = {0};
    Item * true_item = NULL;
    int finished = 0;
    
    simple_path = strdup(path); //error here
//blah blah
