We have a warning about "implicit declaration of function" GetTickCount64();But it can be available with windows.hhttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/sysinfoapi/nf-sysinfoapi-gettickcount64 4. We have a warning about "incompatible pointer type" for _BitScanForward64 and _BitScanReverse64 functions.But declaration from Microsoft looks like:unsigned char _BitScanForward64( unsigned long * Index, unsigned __int64 Mask );https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/intrinsics/bitscanforward-bitscanforward64?view=vs-2019 Then, let's compile source via g++ with -Wold-style-cast option as .cpp: $ g++ -Wold-style-cast main.cpp main.cpp: In function ‘int main()’: main.cpp:16:15: error: ‘gcvt’ was not declared in this scope char * str = gcvt(3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375, 49, buf); ^~~~ In file included from /usr/include/sys/types.h:52:0, from /usr/include/stdio.h:61, from main.cpp:6: main.cpp:21:11: warning: use of old-style cast [-Wold-style-cast] FD_ZERO(&read_fd); ^ main.cpp:23:2: error: ‘GetTickCount64’ was not declared in this scope GetTickCount64(); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ main.cpp:23:2: note: suggested alternative: ‘GetTickCount’ GetTickCount64(); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GetTickCount main.cpp:28:29: error: cannot convert ‘long unsigned int*’ to ‘unsigned int*’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘unsigned char _BitScanForward64(unsigned int*, long long unsigned int)’ _BitScanForward64(&index, b); ^ main.cpp:29:29: error: cannot convert ‘long unsigned int*’ to ‘unsigned int*’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘unsigned char _BitScanReverse64(unsigned int*, long long unsigned int)’ _BitScanReverse64(&index, b);
So...1. error: ‘gcvt’ was not declared in this scopebut it must be into stdlib.h as well:MSVC: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/gcvt?view=vs-2019 Linux man: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/gcvt.3.html And from IBM: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.bpxbd00/rgcvt.htm 2.main.cpp:21:11: warning: use of old-style cast [-Wold-style-cast] FD_ZERO(&read_fd);This is bullshit. 3. error: ‘GetTickCount64’ was not declared in this scopeSee Above. 4. For BitScanForward64/_BitScanReverse64 - error: cannot convert ‘long unsigned int*’ to ‘unsigned int*’ for argument ‘1’See Above. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
