ExampleThe following example shows how to declare names that have C linkage:
If a function has more than one linkage specification, they must agree. It's an error to declare functions as having both C and C++ linkage. Furthermore, if two declarations for a function occur in a program, one with a linkage specification and one without, the declaration with the linkage specification must be first. Any redundant declarations of functions that already have linkage specification are given the linkage specified in the first declaration. For example:
Starting in Visual Studio 2019, when See alsoKeywords FeedbackSubmit and view feedback for Which function is used to capture the error code?The strerror() function, which returns a pointer to the textual representation of the current errno value.
What is error in C programming?Error is an illegal operation performed by the user which results in abnormal working of the program. Programming errors often remain undetected until the program is compiled or executed. Some of the errors inhibit the program from getting compiled or executed.
How does errno work in C?Global Variable errno: When a function is called in C, a variable named as errno is automatically assigned a code (value) which can be used to identify the type of error that has been encountered. Its a global variable indicating the error occurred during any function call and defined in the header file errno. h.
