Urgent help needed over here

[yuzhang]

Here is the problem:

Since there was a change in the code skeleton I was given, I had to somewhat modify my already-written codes to suit that minor change. Vast majority of the codes were still the same, so created a file with the same name and copy-paste the codes over, but now I received a very strange error:

error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated

This error led me to this line of code:

new_message->message = malloc((int)strlen(s)+1);

Can any one help me please?

Thanks

Why are you casting strlen. There's no need for that.

Why are you casting strlen. There's no need for that.

there is if you use vc++ 2005 -- strlen() returns size_t (unsigned int) with that compiler.

post the errors that appeared before that one. That error only says the compiler stopped because of previous errors.

Which is what malloc expects. Not much reason to explicitly cast a size_t to an int to have it implicitly cast to a size_t , I wouldn't think.

Yes, Dave, my comment was incorrect.
