[SOLVED] Question about GCC error messages.

I'm currently taking a course in C programming, and I have  a question about the error messages returned by GCC.
When ever i try to compile a program containing syntax errors, i get cryptic and not very helpfull error messages.
If i try to compile:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
int i;
i = 0
return 0;
I get following from GCC:
error.c: In function â:
error.c:8:2: error: expected â before â
But shouldn't the message be something like:
error.c: In function 'main':
error.c:8:2: error: expected ; before 'return'
or am I mistaken?

Woah. That is very strange. I've never seen that before.
I assume you're using Arch Linux. What text editor did you use to write the code? Which terminal application are you using?
...those questions are probably unrelated to the problem, but we might as well get them out of the way.

  • Cannot run the macro SOLVER.XLAM!MainEx error message

    Ive had this problem for awhile but am now needing to use solver for my schoolwork. 
    Anytime i try to use the solver function under the data tab this error message pops up. 
    I have tried taking off and readding the add-in under options. 
    when i try to access solver in the visual basic panel it asks for a password which i have never set
    Im running excel 2013 on windows 7
    I have tried many things and am exhausted. No solution has been posted to this problem on the site or anywhere on the web 
    THIS IS NOT WHEN IM TYPING MACRO CODE IN VBA. its just when i try to use solver for simple spreadsheet calculations. 
    when i click solver i get the error cannot run module: SolverCode
    when i try to access the solver code in vba a password is required 

    Hi,
    As far as I know,  the Solver add-in code has the password by design, it is protected on purpose and copyrighted. They are designed for use from the spreadsheet only. 
    Then, as the error message:" Cannot run the macro SOLVER.XLAM!MainEx error message." Please try to do the following methods to fix the issue:
    1. Open VBE (Alt+F11)>Click Tools> References>set to SOLVER>Show immediate code pane (Ctrl+G)>Copy/paste (or write): application.run "solver.xlam!auto_open"
    2. Disable the other Excel add-ins, such as
    Adobe PDFMaker.
    3. Repair Office 2013.

    However I can still boot and everything seems mostly fine. I haven't changed anything to my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, here are the only customized parts:
    MODULES="i915 dm_snapshot"
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keymap encrypt lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck
    I'm using an encrypted root (ext4 over LVM over LUKS) and boot partition is contained in an (unencrypted) LVM logical volume. I also specify a few i915 module options in an /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file as per the Intel Graphics wiki page:
    # Intel graphics driver power-saving option :
    options i915 i915_enable_rc6=7 i915_enable_fbc=1 lvds_downclock=1
    Never had any such warnings before, but now it appears each and every time I update or reinstall my kernel (the default one). I went through Mkinitcpio wiki page, tried putting question marks after the listed modules and rebuilding but it didn't change anything... Any ideas?
    Btw, I don't use any specific compression option and had the regular lzo name change during the same full system upgrade that updated mkinitcpio and linux.
    Thanks

    Yes indeed, removing /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf~ hidden backup file solved the warning issue. Strange but thanks ukhippo, I hadn't thought about checking other subforums!

  • [SOLVED] Question about CPU temperature

    Hi everybody,
    I just want to ask a question about "standard" CPU temperatures because my laptop (a Dell Vostro 3700) is permanently hot with the fans on even when I am not doing anything special.
    I have CPU freq scaling active with the conservative governor, and I use Gnome Shell 3.2 with an nVidia using the nouveau driver.
    Here are "stable" temperatures while writing this post:
    # sensors
    acpitz-virtual-0
    Adapter: Virtual device
    temp1: +72.5°C (crit = +103.0°C)
    nouveau-pci-0100
    Adapter: PCI adapter
    temp1: +78.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +110.0°C)
    coretemp-isa-0000
    Adapter: ISA adapter
    Core 0: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
    Core 2: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
    And this is the output of mpstat
    # mpstat -P ALL

    10:16:50 PM 3 1.36 0.20 0.39 0.02 0.00 0.01 0.00 0.00 98.01
    The fan, of course, is full speed (very annoying)
    I think that these temperatures are quite high, but I don't know what's really causing all this heating because my laptop is basically idle.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks.

    The latest memtest86 installer/extractor creates its own boot diskette (with its own boot files).  Just boot with the diskette, memtest86 does its thing, no user interaction required.
    Alternatively, an .ISO image is now available that is suitable for creating a self-booting memtest86 CD.
