Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your reply.

I've installed gcc 9.5.0 on our campus cluster under /share/apps/centos7/gcc/9.5.0.

When I search for that function name among the installed files, I see it used multiple times, but I don't see that function defined anywhere. Please advise, thanks.

Also, here's the error message.

Dear Help,

The subject identifier is nowhere defined.

Please let me know if you need any more information. Thank you.

Yes, we need more info, you've provided none at all.

That is a built-in function provided by the compiler, present since gcc 9.1.0

In what context are you seeing it not defined? What are you trying to do, and what error do you get?






Best,
