Implicit declaration of Function

[jwinterb]

I upgraded from Labwindows 2008 to 2013

When I now build my project in Labwindows 2013 I am getting many errors like these:

  236, 5    error: implicit declaration of function 'GPS_DisplayErrorStatistics' is invalid in C99. Make sure that you include the function prototype. [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

  246, 5    error: implicit declaration of function 'BER_DisplayErrorStatistics' is invalid in C99. Make sure that you include the function prototype. [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

  256, 5    error: implicit declaration of function 'NDAT_DisplayErrorStatistics' is invalid in C99. Make sure that you include the function prototype. [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

No problem when I build the project using Labwindows 2008

errorStat.h

void GPS_DisplayErrorStatistics( int displayIfZero );

void BER_DisplayErrorStatistics( int displayIfZero );

void NDAT_DisplayErrorStatistics( int displayIfZero );

errorStat.c

/****************************************************************************************/
/*                                                                                                                          */
/*  Display any BER errors which may have been detected during collection     */
/*                                                                                                                          */
/****************************************************************************************/
void BER_DisplayErrorStatistics( int displayIfZero )
{
 ProcessError(BER_Stats.bytecount_errors, "Data Byte Count Errors");
 ProcessError(BER_Stats.checksum_errors, "Checksum Errors");
 ProcessError(BER_Stats.BER_errors , "BER Unreasonable Errors");
 ProcessError(BER_Stats.MSE_errors, "MSE Unreasonable Errors");
 ProcessError(BER_Stats.SNR_errors, "SNR Unreasonable Errors");

}

Calling function in other file

/***************************************************************************************/
/*                                                                                                                         *
/*  Analyze BER statistics                                                                                  */
/*                                                                                                                         */
/***************************************************************************************/
void AnalyzeBER( void )
{
 BER_DisplayErrorStatistics( FALSE );
}

What can be wrong?

Thanks!

Hello jwinterb,

Did you include the header file where you call those functions?

Best regards,

[jwinterb]

Yes, the header files are included in the files.

My confusion is why does it work with Labwindows 2008 but not Labwindows 2013?

Thanks

well, one could possibly argue that the new clang compiler is more strict...?

[jwinterb]

What do I need to do to fix it?

Thanks

Please allow me a second attempt, see here :

If you enable the Build with C99 extensions option, the Require function prototypes option is always implicitly enabled.

By the way, did you also add your include files to the project?
