[Mingw-users] __builtin_gettext

[Gisle V. <gi...@bg...>]

What does this builtin function really do in gcc 3.4?
Google came up with only one hit.

I have the need to code my own gettext() and are getting
redefinition warning. My gettext() is not related to the one in
<libintl.h>, but implements the conio version of the same name
(copying screen text from a rectangle into a user buffer).

This code:

#undef gettext /* no effect */
int gettext (int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2, void *buf)
{
  return mw_gettext (x1, y1, x2, y2, buf);
}

gives this warning:
  textrec.c:70: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'gettext'
