ISO C++ forbids declaration of ` pthread_cond_destroy' with no type

[tvnaidu]

I am using Three pthread functions below, I got ISO error, then I declared int variable called val123, then I assigned, but still I am getting error, any idea?. also I included pthread.h. compiling in Linux with GCC.


pthread_cond_signal(&(receiverConf[numberofReceivers]->receive_q_cond));
pthread_cond_destroy(&(receiverConf[numberofReceivers]->receive_q_cond));
pthread_mutex_destroy(&(receiverConf[numberofReceivers]->receive_q_lock));

--------------------------------------------

int val123;



val123 = pthread_cond_signal((pthread_cond_t *)&(receiverConf[numberofReceivers]->receive_q_cond));
val123 = pthread_cond_destroy(&(receiverConf[numberofReceivers]->receive_q_cond));
val123 = pthread_mutex_destroy(&(receiverConf[numberofReceivers]->receive_q_lock));

C++ does not support default-int. You have to actually specify the type or say void.

Do I have to redeclare pthread_cond_signal as void?. I wanted to use pthread lkibs, this is code is originally written in Windows, I am porting to Linux, since it is cpp file, I am compiling iwth g++ compiler.

This is already declared in pthread.h file as:
extern int pthread_cond_wait (pthread_cond_t *__restrict __cond,
pthread_mutex_t *__restrict __mutex) __THROW;

Where is this
pthread_cond_signal(&(receiverConf[numberofReceivers]->receive_q_cond));

line located? It looks like it's outside of function and is treated as (re-)declaration of function (without return type) and compiler doesn't like it -
:545: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ` pthread_cond_signal' with no type

[tvnaidu]

I am just calling this standard pthread_cond_signal() part of pthreads, do I have to declare this again in my Main.cpp file as extern?.

You must include your pthread.h file in every .c file since each .c file is a separate compilation. The linker merges all of the object files into the executable.

[tvnaidu]

I have Main.cpp file, in the beginning I did include pthread.cpp like below, I am trying to compile this file with g++ command like below, I need to generate .o file first, later I need to make shared lib with this, but first I am trying to compile this .cpp file, I am getting the above errors:

#include <pthread.h>


g++ -g -O2 -Wall -I. -Iinclude -fPIC -c Main.cpp

The lines of code you have posted all look fine therefore the error must be in something you didn't post. It is very hard to diagnose an error in code you can't see however your code appears to be over 500 lines long and we don't really want to see all that.

I suggest you attempt to reduce your code to the minimum compilable unit that still produces the error and then post that.

[tvnaidu]

thank you sir, let me reduce the size and make it minimum and compile.

[tvnaidu]

I had similar call somewhere else, that code as compiling, no problem at all, I am not getting this error for those lines, but only in this function I am getting this error, what I did was I declared just like that working code, then I compiled, it says "not declared in scope", but I declared within function, also I moved to global, no luck at all

Maybe you could post your code for the functoin that contains line 564?
