I think, and I say this cautiously because I'm not too sure, as your error log is quite ambiguous.

But is there a problem with the number of arguments you are passing?

Hey folks,

I am getting the below errors when I compile my main.cpp file,

I am new to this Studio2005 environment


Error 1 error C2660: 'strcpy' : function does not take 3 arguments

Error 2 error C2732: linkage specification contradicts earlier specification for 'pro_str_to_wstr'
Error 3 error C2732: linkage specification contradicts earlier specification for 'pro_wstr_to_str'
Error 4 error C2660: 'ProMessageDisplay' : function does not take 3 arguments
Error 5 error C2660: 'ProMessageDisplay' : function does not take 3 arguments

What's the purpose of this post?
Did you think: "hey, let's ask my question in an even more stupid way and maybe someone will answer it this time"

Why didn't you take Iamthwee's advice and check if strcpy() indeed had too many parameters? (as the compiler is telling you)

hi folks,

I am compiling my c program in visual studio 2005 and am getting the below warnings,could anyone help me?

Warning 2 warning C4090: 'function' : different 'const' qualifiers
Warning 4 warning C4090: 'function' : different 'const' qualifiers

No, we can't help you because we can't see your program. The warning/error messages give you the line number in your program, all you have to do is go to that line and see the problem.

if (line_num > 1)
        {
            qsort(statistic, line_num+1, sizeof(TestStatistic), 
	        (int (*)(PRO_CONST_ARG void *, PRO_CONST_ARG void *))
  	        ProTestStatisticCmp);
  	}

this is my code

The third parameter is wrong. The parameter is a function pointer to your comparison function

int compare(const void *p1, const void* p2)
{
    // assume the two pointers are really integers
    int* i1 = (int *)p1;
    int* i2 = (int *)p2;
    return *i1 - *i2;

   // This would also work
    return *(int *)p1 - *(int *)p2;
}


...
qsort(statistic, line_num+1, sizeof(TestStatistic), compare);
