[comp.sys.sgi] ld warning

SERRER@ODIN.NRC.CA (Martin Serrer) (06/11/91)

Hello again,

  Thanks to 'davea@sgi.com' and 'jason@dsd.es.com' for your replies to my query
about the ld warning. Getting rid of the variable stat solved the problem.

  What I don't understand is:
a. why ld didn't complain about this earlier (I wrote the module containing the
'stat' referrences a long time ago, and have used it without hitch.)
b. why when I comment out the line with the call to fl_show_file_selector the
warning goes away, and all the code works.

  Thanks again... Martin

  I want to replace the 'fl_show_input' gadget with the 'fl_show_file_selector'
gadget as you can see in the code below but ld gives a Warning that I don't
understand. I've been using the 'fl_show_file_selector' gadget successfully in
other code. I'd RTFM if I could find the appropriate section.

--------------------------begin code fragment---------------------------------
void cb_changeModel(obj,dummy)
FL_OBJECT *obj;
long dummy;
{
  char *txx;
        startStop_state = FALSE;
        initModel(Model);

/*      strcpy( Model->modelfile, fl_show_input("Model file :","")); */
        txx = fl_show_file_selector("Select MODEL file:", "./", "*.model", "");
        strcpy( Model->modelfile, txx);

Whoa! I must have missed your original posting... A coworker of mine was 
getting EXACTLY the same error messages; not using spheres though.  The
solution was to remove a variable named stat from the program?
Could you forward the comments from the folks that gave you advice?
Thanks
