Thanks a lot to all helps...

And very very sorry for my stupid question of std C in gcc mainlist...


:)


Thanks.. :)

This is not the right list for this kind of question but I will answer
anyway.  (This list is for discussion of the development of gcc, not
how to use gcc.)

If you use atof() you need to include stdlib.h first to get the
prototype.  Otherwise the compiler will assume atof() returns an int
and thus generate bad code.

#include <stdlib.h> needs to be added.  The default
data type for an undeclared function is int which
will cause oddities like that.  Always compile
with -Wall when debugging stuff, as it will
report such errors.

This is the wrong group for such kind of questions.  I guess this
might be even answered in the C FAQ or a good C book.

If you compile your program with warnings enabled, you'll get:
$ gcc -Wall t.c
t.c: In function `main':
t.c:10: warning: implicit declaration of function `atof'

Without a prototype the function is declared as returning int instead
of doubles.

This mailing list is for questions about developing GCC, not about
using it.

A hint, though: try compiling with -Wall to turn on more warnings.

You need

#include <stdlib.h>

to get the prototype of atof.

atof()

[Reinaldo Nolasco Sanches]

I have a problem with atof()... and I don't understand because it...
When I use atof() to get a value of a string... and put in my double var, the value is not the
same...

I make a little example...

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	double teste;
	char   strteste[10];
	
	strcpy( strteste, "120.1" );
	
	teste = atof( strteste );
	
	printf( "\n\tResult is = %.2f\n\n", teste );
	
	return 0;
}

and the result is this

    Result is = 1078984704.00

and I don't understand this... I make this in several PCs... and in a SuSE, in a Slackware and in
a RedHat(urgg!), and in all the erro ocurred...

I don't know if I need set a specific #define... or a specific environment var...

Please... anybody can help me ???

I compiled with...
   gcc -i teste.c -o teste


Thanks a lot in advance...
