warning message regarding gcc -Wmissing-delcarations

[mattmao]

My code works fine with this command:

gcc mycode.c

It is compiled and runs just as I wanted.

But since my assignment has a specific restriction, my code must go through this:

gcc -pedantic-errors Wmissing-declarations -Wall -Werror -ansi mycode.c

Well, then it responds with a warning message:
gcc:Wmissing-declarations:No such file or directory.

I downloaded the pdf manual from gcc.gnu.org and found this description:
-Wmissing-declarations (C only)
Warn if a global function is defined without a previous declaration. Do so even
if the definition itself provides a prototype. Use this option to detect global
functions that are not declared in header files.

I've deleted all functions, even the prototypes, and left nothing in the body of main function, but I still got the same warning message.

Okay, I give up trying to figure out why...Why?

#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   printf("Blah Blah Blah!\n");
 
   return 0;
}

gcc -pedantic-errors Wmissing-declarations -Wall -Werror -ansi why.c

gcc says:
gcc:Wmissing-declarations:No such file or directory.


Thanks in advance.

Take a very careful look at what you typed in. It's -Wmissing.... not Wmissing.

You forgot the "-".

Emmm...

My lecturer made a small typo in this line:

gcc -pedantic-errors Wmissing-declarations -Wall -Werror -ansi

Actually it should be this:

gcc -pedantic-errors -Wmissing-declarations -Wall -Werror -ansi

I took it from the assignment sheet without thinking.

Pity me:(
