    need help to resolve the C# bug!!

    hi

    I am tryin to compile one C# program, but m stuck somewhr in middle with one extern fuction i defined. Actually long time bac in this code i defined one extern function get_option. But i forget exact signature of this function and i an using this function in main function with two argument.
    When i am tryin to compile this program obv it will throw error for the same reason. Can anybody help me to find/guess the exact signature of that function.
    below is ma actual code

    So wait, you aren't sure that your program is correctly prototyping an external function, correct? I seriously recommend using the debugger if that is the case. Even then, the debugger is not a miracle worker. See if you can't get the prototype corrected.

    I typically start off by using correct grammar. I am not a robot with special incoherent rambling resolving skills.

    Ok, lets start off with why do you not know how the function was supposed to be prototyped? What is the name of the function? If it is an common API function I betcha I may just know what it is supposed to be. If it is from some obscure library, you may need help beyond what I can provide.

    Belongs in the C board.

    And why does your file have a C++ extension?
