bzero() seems to be missing from stdio.h

[Jolfulorc]

Hi,

I'm designing a software which gets data from a USB port. I need to install the LibSerial library. When I launch make, I get an error. After further investigations, it turns out that something seems to be missing from stdio.h. A simple code like this :

#include <stdio.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){
bzero( stuff );

}

gives at compilation :

g++ -o essai essai.cc
essai.cc: In function ‘int main()’:
essai.cc:6: error: ‘bzero’ was not declared in this scope

I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 (which is great by the way ;))... Anyone knows how to solve this ?
Cheers,
Jol

Missing, or never belonged there? It has nothing to do with IO...

By including strings.h, where it's located. Or alternatively by using memset() instead, since this function is deprecated (from "man bzero").

With <strings.h> it worked. It's weird I read a lot of stuff about bzero and stdio being related though.

Anyway, thanks!
