Can we call an undeclared function in C++?
Calling an undeclared function is poor style in C (See this) and illegal in C++. So is passing arguments to a function using a declaration that doesn’t list argument types:
If we save the below program in a .c file and compile it, it works without any error. But, if we save the same in a .cpp file, it doesn’t compile.
#include<stdio.h> void f(); /* Argument list is not mentioned */ int main() { f(2); /* Poor style in C, invalid in C++*/ getchar(); return 0; } void f(int x) { printf("%d", x); } |
