too many arguments to function...

Hi,

sorry if that was already mentioned. This  morning, I called strcpy() passing too many arguments. Thats was flagged by the compiler, but when I clicked on the message, I was brought to the.h file declaring strcpy() instead of being brought to the line in error in my code.

Thanks

Hi Giles, was there more than one error line? Did one take you to the code and one to the definition of the function?

The recent beta version of Visual Micro should show better error messages than the current release but in all case the dbl click should be based on what was returned to us by the compiler.

We get a load of text back from the arduino compiler and we display the error messages and locations that are returned to us within the text.

Maybe post a few lines of code and I'll give it a try later.

Thanks

Hi Tim,

wow, you arte pretty fast to reply  Smiley.

I reproduced the error, wrong code being
Code
Select All
	strcpy(Mess, "%d", m_tss);
	strcat(Mess, XB_REP_OK);

From output window: Quote:
string.h : too many arguments to function 'char* strcpy(char*, const char*)'
UF_TSN_1.ino : at this point in file

My bad  Embarrassed if I double click on the first line, I am brought to the header file, but if it's on the second line, I am brought to my code  Undecided.

Sorry

Great thanks. 

Thanks for the update, it is good to hear the drill down from errors into both your own code and the Arduino core or library code is working.
