Variable 'pthread_mutex_t' is unknown

[Inderjit Singh]

Hi.

I don't seem to be able to get out of this problem.

In my file queue.h I have declared:

#include <pthread.h> 

#define Q_HDR_INT_SZ    4
#define Q_HDR_SZ        (sizeof(pthread_mutex_t) + Q_HDR_INT_SZ)

When using the macro, I get:

Variable 'pthread_mutex_t' is unknown

Anyone can guide me to why this error is being generated and to fix it?

Is the output really generated by cppcheck? I can't reproduce this with the code above.

Sorry CHR. I realised was say too brief in the description. Here is a more detailed output:

cppcheck version: 2.13.0

$ cppcheck --addon=test/pipeline/coding_stds/misra.json --error-exitcode=255 -I/home/user/devel/repos/project/common/src/utils /home/user/devel/common/src/comp/comp_queue.c

And the result:

Checking project/common/src/comp/comp_queue.c: SYSCFG_COMP_USE...
