debugging help please in C

[jmprince01]

I have three files list.c list.h driver.c. they dont compile properly (they are to be compiled together). i can't find my assignment specs right now, i'll try to post them soon. but maybe someone can make sense of this w/o my instructions?

 list.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "list.h"

#define LISTSZ(a) (((a)-1)*sizeof(char*)+sizeof(struct list))

struct list{
	int size;
	int maxsz;
	char *string[1];
};

struct list* startlist (int numstrings)
{	
	struct list *q;
	q=malloc(LISTSIZE(numstrings));

	if (q==NULL)
	{
		perror("malloc error\n");
		exit(-1);
	}
q-> size=0;
q-> maxsz= numstrings;

return 	q;
}


struct list* insrtstr(char sizestring[], struct list *p){
	char *srcptr, *destptr;
	struct list *q;
	if(p->size == p->maxsz){
		p-> maxsz+= INCRSZ;
		q=realloc(p, LISTSIZE(p->maxsz));

		if(q==NULL)
		{
			perror("realloc error\n");
			exit (-1);
		}
		p=q;
	}
	p->string[p->size++]= (char*)strdup(sizestring);
		return p;
}
/*/void sortlist(struct list *p){
//	sizeone++;
//	sizetwo++; */
//

 list.h
#ifndef _LIST_H_
#define _LIST_H_

#define INITSZ 7
#define INCRSZ 10

struct list;

	struct list* startlist(int);
	struct list* insrtstr(char [], struct list*);

	void sortlist(struct list *);
	struct list* rmvstr(int, struct list *);

	void printlist(struct list *);
	void freelist(struct list *);

	int strCompare (const void *, const void *);

#endif

 driver.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include  "list.h"

#define MAX_STRING 1024
#define REMOVE_POSITION 4

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
	FILE *in;
	char *str;
	struct list *anotherList;

	str=malloc (MAX_STRING);
	in=fopen(argv[1], "r");

	anotherList=startlist(INITSZ);
	while(fgets(str, MAX_STRING, in)!= NULL){
		anotherList=insrtstr(str, anotherList);
	}

	sortlist(anotherList);

	anotherList=rmvstr(REMOVE_POSITION, anotherList);
	printlist(anotherList);

	fclose(in);
	free(str);

	freelist(anotherList);
	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

they dont compile properly

Then you should have posted the compile errors/warnings. I can see anything from a quick glance at the code.

[jmprince01]

here are my compiler errors

main203{jprince}9: gcc driver.c list.c list.h -o driver
driver.c:4:19: list.h: No such file or directory
driver.c: In function `main':
driver.c:17: error: `INITSZ' undeclared (first use in this function)

main203{jprince }9: gcc driver.c list.c list.h -o driver

driver.c:4:19: list.h: No such file or directory

The compiler can not find list.h, is it saved in the same directory as the .c files? If not you will have to add an include path to the compiler command line.

After this all bets are off, it is trying to compile the file without the proper headers included.

list.c:4:18: list.h: No such file or directory

Same again here.

still working on this. i changed the <list.h> to "list.h" which gave me a bunch new errors. they're all "undefined reference to 'some function'", but all my functions are defined in list.h. (yes, list.h is in the correct director with the other two files) so how do i fix the "undefined reference" problem? i am honestly not getting this.
Here are my new errors:

main203{jprince}6: gcc driver.c list.c list.h -o driver
/tmp/ccsWJzVQ.o: In function `main':

but all my functions are defined in list.h

No. All your functions are declared in list.h.

sortlist, rmvstr, printlist, freelist are not defined anywhere hence the errors.

I function declaration is where you state what the return type of the function is as well as the number of parameters it takes as well as there types, it is followed by a semi colon and has no code block.

int Add(int op1, int op2); // Declaration of Add

A definition as well as having the return type and number of types of parameters also has the code block for the function giving the code to be executed when the function is called, it has no semi colon.

int Add(int op1, int op2) // Definition of Add
{
    return op1+op2;
}

You have link errors, undefined functions because you have declared the functions and tried to call them but not defined them. This makes a lot of sense if you think about it because where you have called the function you are basically saying run the code for the function printlist (for instance) but you have not associated any code with printlist so the linker can't do it.



Note: LISTSIZE is actually defined LISTSZ
