Conflicting return types
- by Adi
I am doing a recursive program and I am getting an error about conflicting types:
void* buddyMalloc(int req_size)
{
// Do something here
return buddy_findout(original_index,req_size); // This is the recursive call
}
void *buddy_findout(int current_index,int req_size)
{
char *selected = NULL;
if(front!=NULL)
{
if(current_index==original_index)
{
// Do something here
return selected;
}
else
{
// Do Something here
return buddy_findout(current_index+1,req_size);
}
}
else
{
return buddy_findout(current_index-1,req_size);
}
}
Error:
buddy.c: At top level:
buddy.c:76: error: conflicting types for ‘buddy_findout’
buddy.c:72: note: previous implicit declaration of ‘buddy_findout’ was here
Please note the file buddy.c in which I am defining this does not contain main and is linked with several other .c files.
