Compiler error: memset was not declared in this scope
You should include <string.h>
(or its C++ equivalent, <cstring>
).
Whevever you get a problem like this just go to the man page for the function in question and it will tell you what header you are missing, e.g.
$ man memset
MEMSET(3) BSD Library Functions Manual MEMSET(3)
NAME
memset -- fill a byte string with a byte value
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
void *
memset(void *b, int c, size_t len);
Note that for C++ it's generally preferable to use the proper equivalent C++ headers, <cstring>
/<cstdio>
/<cstdlib>
/etc, rather than C's <string.h>
/<stdio.h>
/<stdlib.h>
/etc.
