Reported link error CB does not notice?

[fpinkse]

Hi all,

I have this code: stripped to illustrare the problem.

The main .c

Code Select Expand


#include <PIC/PIC16F874.H>
#include "LCD_Driver2.h"

// main body
void main(){
    LCD_SetUp();
    }


The second .c

Code Select Expand


#include <PIC/PIC16F874.H>

void LCD_Setup(void)
{
    PORTD = PORTA;
}


the .h

Code Select Expand

void LCD_SetUp(void);

As you probably have noticed I made A typing error in the second .c file i.e LCD_Setup instead of LCD_SetUp as in the header.

Now when I compile this I get this report

-------------- Build: Release in SDCC_PIC_test ---------------

Compiling: LCD_Driver2.c
Linking native: bin\Release\SDCC_PIC_test
message: using default linker script "C:\Program Files\gputils\lkr\16f874.lkr"
error: missing definition for symbol "_LCD_SetUp", required by "obj\Release\SDCC_PIC_Using.rel"
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 1 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings


The linker has reported it as an error but Code::Blocks accumulated report does notice it with a red banner but does not raise the count.


My system:

SDCC version 2.9 under Code::Blocks version 8.02 on WindowsXP.


With best regards.


Frans.
