Q. Why do I get an "unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16" (or similar) error at link-time? (MSVC) This is most likely due to attempting to build a console program as a GUI application. If you intended to create a console app, make a new project with the console wizard.

A popular and high-quality free C compiler is the FSF's GNU C compiler, or gcc. An MS-DOS port, djgpp, is also available. As far as I know, there are versions of gcc for Macs and Windows machines, too. A very inexpensive MS-DOS compiler is Power C from Mix Software, 1132 Commerce Drive, Richardson, TX 75801, USA, 214-783-6001. A shareware MS-DOS C compiler is available from ftp.hitech.com.au/hitech/pacific. Registration is optional for non-commercial use. Archives associated with the comp.

The source code for a Java program is also known as a compilation unit, which contains the code for a top level Java class or interface. A Java compilation unit is usually created in the form of a file with a .java extension and is passed to the compiler as a file path reference. The Java source file naming convention is not a standard specified by the Java language but is a common feature of Java compilers, such as javac, to help locate source code.

C++ is a superset of something, we're not sure what. You can use a C++ compiler to compile C code, but the results may surprise you.

Yes, you need a C++ compiler installed on your computer in order to run Excel Translator?. Several compilers are available for free. In fact, during its installation Excel Translator? points you to the Microsoft's site to download a freely distributed C++ compiler, so there's no extra effort on your part to obtain it.

Where have you been? :-) Sun has dropped their old K&R C compiler, supposedly to create a market for multiple compiler suppliers to provide better performance and features. Here are some of the contenders: SunPro, SMCC, and various distributors sell a new ANSI-standard C compiler on the unbundled (extra cost) SPARCcompiler/SPARCworks CD-ROM. There are some other nice tools there too, like a "make tool" and a visual diff (interactive diff).

They've been programming more than ten years. You haven't. Draw your own conclusions. That's right! They hadn't noticed it. No doubt their compilers have it too, and its behavior is identical everywhere else in the world, also. That would explain everything.

Once you have written the Java source code file, there is only one step required to compile it. To compile the class from the command line, you need to give the path to the compiler program, such as Sun javac, and the path of the source code file, like this:

There are 10 standard containers. They're broken up into Sequence Containers, Associative Containers and Container Adapters. The first two types of containers - (Sequence and Associative) are first class containers. Other containers, such as string, bitset, valarray and normal arrays are considered to be "Near Containers".

Not exactly; it can contain a pointer to another structure of the same type. Try: typedef struct { char *item; double *next; } NODEFAKE; typedef struct { char *item; NODEFAKE *next; } NODEPTR;

Sure. However, you will be responsible for making any needed modifications to the provided code. The provided IntervalTimer will not work on other platforms since it makes calls into the Unix operating system. You can replace this by whatever system utility you have to get the time. Then by getting the time before and after the algorithm runs you can take their difference to determine the elapsed time. Just be sure that your procedure is the only process running.

It depends. If your compiler is C99-compliant, then patches to support it are likely to be welcome if they do not pollute the source code with #ifdefs related to the compiler. Visual C++ is not compliant to the C standard and does not support the inline assembly used in FFmpeg. If you wish - for whatever weird reason - to use Visual C++ for your project then you can link the Visual C++ code with libav* as long as you compile the latter with a working C compiler.

OEChem distributions are generally labelled clearly to indicate the corresponding compiler and version. Additional compiler support information can be found at the OpenEye Platform Support document, in the accompanying technical notes.

MICRO-C is a "near ANSI" subset compiler. It does however, support more of the 'C' language than most other subset compilers, including: Micro-C has a long history, and began life as a K&R only compiler. It has evolved toward ANSI quite a bit, and continues to do so, however it is NOT a fully ANSI compliant compiler, and most likely never will be..

We, ( CodeGen, Inc.) sell a C-to-Fcode compiler. Well, it actually generates IEEE-1275 Forth that then must be run through a tokenizer. Really, it generates pretty ugly Forth code. It's easy to generate lousy Forth, but it's very difficult to generate nice clean optimized Forth. C and stack-based languages don't mix too well. I end up faking a C variable stack-frame using a Forth $frame variable for local vars. MPE has produced a C to stack-machine compiler.

The easiest way is to buy the distribution CD from the IEEE Student Branch ($5 for IEEE members, $10 for non). It contains the Cygwin (GNU) C++ compiler, the Insight debugger, the "Teaching Machine" and instructional videos. If you have a fast internet connection and don't want the videos etc., you can go to Cygwin's site and click on the "Install Now!" icon. Be sure to install at least the following packages:

Yes, but you should compile and run your test cases using the Cygwin/GNU compiler (g++) in the lab before you submit your assignments. If it works there, then it's ok. (Of course we may find test cases for which your program doesn't work on any compiler.) where files is a list of one or more files that the compiler is to compile, and options is one or more of the following. (There are others, these are just the most relevant ones.) Give all warnings.

I'm looking for new questions (with answers), better answers, or both. Please send suggestions to bug-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu. If you have general questions about Octave, or need help for something that is not covered by the Octave manual or the FAQ, please use the help-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu mailing list. This FAQ is intended to supplement, not replace, the Octave manual.

The deprecation message you have seen means that the methods you are calling have been marked with a JavaDoc deprecation comment. When a method or class is marked deprecated it is only advisory, not mandatory, but the advice is given for good reason and should be followed. So long as deprecated methods remain in the public API it is possible to use them, so this approach supports legacy code and gives developers time to amend their applications as necessary.

The control-s and control-q keys now do flow control by default, unless you have turned this off with stty -ixon or redefined the keys which control it with stty start or stty stop. (This is done by the system, not zsh; the shell simply respects these settings.) In other words, \C-s stops all output to the terminal, while \C-q resumes it. There is an option NO_FLOW_CONTROL to stop zsh from allowing flow control and hence restoring the use of the keys: put setopt noflowcontrol in your .

There are two current/ongoing projects to produce an "open source" and/or GNU compiler. For one, see the project "COBOL for GCC". This site also includes a status on various other "open source" projects. There is a freely available COBOL compiler for DOS. It can be found on many archive sites, named COBOL650.ZIP. You also need DPATH30.ZIP. Have a read through Section 8 before you start. It is widely rumored that the sources for this compiler are available from a BBS.

The following is a response from a developer on the C# compiler team: We get rid of unused locals (i.e., locals that are never read, even if assigned). We get rid of unreachable code. We get rid of try-catch with an empty try. We get rid of try-finally with an empty try. We get rid of try-finally with an empty finally.

I recommend Microsoft Visual C because it's the industry standard... and also what I use for current projects. I used to use Watcom C when it was the only 32-bit compiler. I had lots of trouble finding example code for it because it was not so popular. Thankfully, everything is 32-bit these days. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble in the future by starting with a popular compiler.
