Exit is implicitly declared as a function

[ram_47]

Hi,

Though this is an informational message only, would like to know what it means. Also, is there a way to get rid of it?

exit(0);
.......^
%CC-I-IMPLICITFUNC, In this statement, the identifier "exit" is implicitly
declared as a function.

Ram,

HELP CRTL exit

is your friend.

Simply include stdlib.h, like

#include

Ram,
Also:

HELP CC Messages IMPLICITFUNC

I cannot access this. It says no documentation. I tried looking for 'Messages' under CC/VAXC but it is not listed there.

Ram,

I'm using Compaq C V6.4-005 on OpenVMS VAX, HP C V7.1-011 on OpenVMS IA64 V8.2, and Compaq C V6.5-001 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-1; and all these versions have HELP CC MESSAGES.
What's your configuration?

Is there a way to check the configuration? The only thing I know about my VMS box is -
VAX/VMS Version V6.2, because it appears after logon :)

Ram,

write sys$output f$getsyi("HW_NAME")
gives what type of box you're working on;

write sys$output f$getsyi("ARCH_NAME")
gives the architecture (VAX, Alpha, IA64);

write sys$output f$getsyi("VERSION")
gives the version of VMS.

CC/VERSION
gives the version of the C compiler (at least with the more recent ones).

Also, you might look in SYS$HELP for the release notes of the C compiler.
Execute:

directory sys$help:*cc*.release_notes

You might see something like

Directory SYS*COMMON:[SYSHLP]

CC065.RELEASE_NOTES

This also tells me that I have version 6.5 of the C compiler.

V6.2

CC/VERSION

Ram,

I don't have access to a configuration similar to yours. But the help info on the CC command lists the "messages" topic under /DECC on one of our VAXes running V6.2 and DEC C V6.0 installed.

Sorry, but am still unable to find that topic.
