Compiler error

Thekid
145 New Member
I'm trying to compile some C++ code and I'm getting one error that says:
Empty Character Constant. I know that's ' ' without anything in it but how do I correct this? I get many other errors when I remove it or add something in it.
the line looks something like this:
memset(XXX_addr .sin_zero, ' ', sizeof XXX_addr.sin_ze ro);

Any suggestions?

Can you please calrify what you are trying to do? If you are trying to create a string of 10 spaces just put a space in the quotes.

As suggested by ilikepython.... try to use memset with 0 or space like
memset(obj,0,si zeof(obj);
or
memset(obj,' ',sizeof(obj);

Do you have a space between your single quotes??

An empty character constant is a pair of single quotes with nothing between them.

I'm seeing an error when I try to run/debug a web service. Although it doesn't happen every time, it does occur more than half of the times I hit F5. It appears to be returned by the the JIT compiler as the page is requested by the browser. The result is that the "compiler failed with error code 2000". I have tested the same code on another workstation with VS.NET and it works fine EVERY time. I'm convinced it's not the code and I...

I'm using interfaces in C++ by declaring classes with only pure virtual methods. If then someone wants to implement the interface they needs to inherit from the class. If the implementing class forgets to implement some method I normally get a compile error(if the class is created in some way of course). When using the Visual Studio 6 compiler however, it does not generate a compile error in this case: - I have a implementing class A...

Consider the following line of code (it's not important what it does): resp.DocItem=Relations.SelectDocItems_BySearchString(req.SearchPhrase); It turns out that this line is in error. The property 'DocItem' should be 'DocItems.' The problem is that instead of notifying me of where the problem has occurred, the compiler just crashes with an "internal error" (see bottom of this message). Now if I were to write: ...

I'm having a hard time tying to build gcc 4.3.1 on Solaris using the GNU compilers. I then decided to try to use Sun's compiler. The Sun Studio 12 compiler reports the following code, which is in the source (gcc-4.3.1/gcc/c-common.c) of gcc 4.3.1, is a syntax error. I'm inclined to agree, as it is like no C I have ever met. what is "C_COMMON_FIXED_TYPES (, fract);" supposed to mean? Could it be

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
