So i've been looking stuff about usleep() and all I have found to get rid of this is #define which i have done... Any ohter suggestion? I need to get rid of this warning... Or any ideas on how to use sleep with miliseconds.
#define _BSB_SOURCE
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <time.h>
int r = rand() % 1000 +1;
usleep(r*1000);
pthread_mutex_lock (&count_mutex);
You need to remove -std=c99 from your compiler command or use the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro before including unistd.h.
If you want you can use -std=gnu99 instead of -std=c99.
nanosleep() worked for me:
On a relevant note: usleep() has been removed since POSIX-2008 and
recommends to use nanosleep() instead.

I'm trying to use the memfd_create syscall in my C code. I tried to include sys/memfd.h as the man page for memfd_create says is appropriate, but GCC gives me an error "sys/memfd: No such file or directory".
I've tried Googling around and couldn't find anyone having the same problem. I noticed some versions of the manpage for memfd_create say that I should include sys/mman.h, but it didn't seem to help when I tried it. It would say memfd_create was implicitly declared.
Here is a minimal reproduction of my problem.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/memfd.h>
int main(){
int fd;
fd = memfd_create("test", MFD_CLOEXEC);
return 0;
}
I expect the above code to compile and run without error.
On older systems, you'll have to include linux/memfd.h for the MFD_ defines, and call memfd_create() via the the syscall(2) wrapper (and include unistd.h and sys/syscall.h for it work).
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <linux/memfd.h>
#include <err.h>
int main(void){
int fd;
if((fd = syscall(SYS_memfd_create, "test", MFD_CLOEXEC)) == -1)
err(1, "memfd_create");
return 0;
}
The Ubuntu man-pages in Bionic (18.04) are not up to date with this API (including its implementation in Bionic).
The Focal man-page correctly shows how to include memfd_create(). It says:
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <sys/mman.h>
So you only need to include <sys/mman.h>, and you need to build with -D_GNU_SOURCE in your compiler flags. Or, do as the man page says and literally #define _GNU_SOURCE before including the header. However, I recommend just compiling with -D_GNU_SOURCE instead.
I don't understand why the function getpagesize gives me a warning for implicit declaration of function while using the c18 version of gcc.
gcc test.c -Wall -std=c18
implicit declaration of function ‘getpagesize’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
nested extern declaration of ‘getpagesize’ [-Wnested-externs]
int BLOCKSIZE = getpagesize();
And this is my included files :
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <errno.h>
Using -std=cXX instead of -std=gnuXX disables a bunch of normally defined feature test macros, including the ones that provide getpagesize(). From its man page (Assuming you're using linux):
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
getpagesize():
Since glibc 2.19:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE || ! (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L)
From glibc 2.12 to 2.19:
_BSD_SOURCE || ! (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L)
Before glibc 2.12:
_BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
So you have to define the appropriate one to the appropriate value before including any header files. Or just use -std=gnu18.
Edit: Also, since getpagesize() is obsolete and not standard, consider using the POSIX standard sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) instead.
Here's my code:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <signal.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
sigignore(SIGTERM);
return 0;
}
Why do I get the following warning and how could I remove it?
implicit declaration of function ‘sigignore’
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration] sigignore(SIGTERM);
The program must be compiled like this: gcc -o foo.o foo.c.
Thanks
Man sigignore tells you to use #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500 to enable sigignore. More on X/Open can be found here
The function you want to call has been marked as obsolete 15 years ago. The normal way to discourage people from using those functions (without actually breaking programs) is to have the implementation of the function left in the standard library, but remove the declaration from header files (or at least make it hard to enable).
Use sigaction or sigprocmask (depending on what you actually want to accomplish).
I am using the Big Nerd Ranch book Objective-C Programming, and it starts out by having us write in C in the first few chapters. In one of my programs it has me create, I use the sleep function. In the book it told me to put #include <stdlib.h> under the #include <stdio.h> part. This is supposed to get rid of the warning that says "Implicit declaration of function 'sleep' is invalid in C99". But for some reason after I put #include <stdlib.h>, the warning does not go away.. This problem does not stop the program from running fine, but I was just curious on which #include I needed to use!
The sleep man page says it is declared in <unistd.h>.
Synopsis:
#include <unistd.h>
unsigned int sleep(unsigned int seconds);
sleep is a non-standard function.
On UNIX, you shall include <unistd.h>.
On MS-Windows, Sleep is rather from <windows.h>.
In every case, check the documentation.
this is what I use for a cross-platform code:
#ifdef _WIN32
#include <Windows.h>
#else
#include <unistd.h>
#endif
int main()
{
pollingDelay = 100
//do stuff
//sleep:
#ifdef _WIN32
Sleep(pollingDelay);
#else
usleep(pollingDelay*1000); /* sleep for 100 milliSeconds */
#endif
//do stuff again
return 0;
}
What is the proper #include for the function 'sleep()'?
sleep() isn't Standard C, but POSIX so it should be:
#include <unistd.h>
sleep(3) is in unistd.h, not stdlib.h. Type man 3 sleep on your command line to confirm for your machine, but I presume you're on a Mac since you're learning Objective-C, and on a Mac, you need unistd.h.
Given that sleep is a non-standard function, I created a sleep function with the standard library time.h
#include <time.h>
void sleep(double s) {
time_t cur_time = time(NULL);
while ((difftime(time(NULL), cur_time)) < s);
}
This is tiny snippet of my code.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
...
FILE * pipe;
...
pipe = popen ("ls /tmp -1", "r");
...
pclose(pipe);
blarg.c:106: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘popen’
blarg.c:106: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
blarg.c:112: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘pclose’
blarg.c:118: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
I'm really unsure. I looked up popen and all it requires is stdio.h which is provided. What is missing, or is the problem in the rest of my code (I don't really want to show more code because its an a assignment).
As the man page says:
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
popen(), pclose(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 2 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
|| _SVID_SOURCE
So you should #define _BSD_SOURCE or one of the others before #includeing stdio.h.
Replace -std=c99 or -std=c11 etc with -std=gnu99 or -std=gnu11.
I put the prototypes of popen and pclose at the top of my code. It seemed to have settled the problem.
