Compilation fails: string.h:51:20: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘VString

[fbemm]

I am trying to compile wtdbg and get the following error:

file_reader.c:247:8: note: include ‘<string.h>’ or provide a declaration of ‘strlen’
In file included from list.h:24:0,
from dmo.h:20,
from wtdbg.c:20:
./string.h:51:20: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘VString’
define_list(VStrv, VString);
^
In file included from list.h:24:0,
from dmo.h:20,
from wtdbg.c:20:
./string.h:245:71: error: unknown type name ‘VStrv’
static inline string_size_t split_string(String *str, char separator, VStrv *vstrs){
^
./string.h:270:73: error: unknown type name ‘VStrv’
static inline string_size_t split_vstring(VString *str, char separator, VStrv *vstrs, string_size_t cut){
^
In file included from dmo.h:20:0,
from wtdbg.c:20:

Additionally, there are thousand warning like this:

list.h:341:2: note: include ‘<string.h>’ or provide a declaration of ‘memcpy’
memcpy(list1->buffer + list1->size, ary, sizeof(e_type) * size); \

Probably one should add #include <string.h> to all c files.

Which version of linux-gcc was used in you compilation? Or not linux-gcc. I tested the codes in linux-gcc 4.4.7. Thanks for evaluation!

I tried it with:

gcc (GCC) 4.8.4

and

gcc (GCC) 5.4.0

I see, will update codes. Please wait for days.

Hi, please check out again. If there are still problems, please let me know. Thanks!

Error still happens. I guess the code should be in a style that compiles on a current Ubuntu system with gcc (GCC) 4.8.4 or higher.

I have successfully compiled the latest code under Linux version 2.6.32-504.e16.x86_64, using GCC versions of gcc-4.4.7, gcc-4.9.4, gcc-5.4.0 and gcc-6.3.0. BTW, my OS is redhat-release CentOS release 6.6.
