Re: [Dev-C++] clrscr() and c99 compatibility

[Matthews <dem...@uw...>]

Thanks for the linker information.  clrscr() along with textcolor() and
gotoxy() work fine now. :)

Code snippet:  This happened several times with me, so I'm quite interested
to find out the reason why.

sample code:

void log_in(void)
{
  clrscr();
  printf("User login: ");
  char login[80];
  gets(login);
  int c;
  c = atoi(login);
  if (c != 0 || c != 1 || c != 2) {
    clrscr();
    printf("Invalid login.");
      for (;;) {
        if (kbhit()) break;
      }
  }
}

And it would give me a parsing error at "char login[80]" every time.
What's up?
