Hi there,
I want to use prototyping in my NeXT GNU C program for a function which
takes a short int as an argument, such as:
int MyFunc (short int);
int MyFunc (x)
short int x;
{
}
I get the error:
argument `x' doesn't match function prototype
a formal parameter type that promotes to `int' can match only `int' in
the prototype.
How can I keep using prototypes without having to change all my functions to
pass `int' instead of `short int' ?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff Thompson

Declare your functions like this: int MyFunc (short int); int MyFunc (short int x) { } You were mixing the old style C declarations with the new style. -Mike BTW: Old style obsolete, don't use.
