GCC 4 error.
Hello, dont know much about C, or gcc, but I am trying to compile a program that built fine in gcc3, but is outputting errors in gcc4,

int load_REs(char *, char [][]); #this line is causing the error

DB_Query.h:22: error: array type has incomplete element type

any help would be appreciated.

In C:
Code:
char [][]

that is an incomplete type because the second [] has to contain a const (number).
It is not really a bug, your code has a problem.

In your .h file handle it like this, maybe:
Code:

#define COL_SZ 12
int load_REs(char *, char [][COL_SZ]); #this line is causing the error

Such incomplete types have actually been declared illegal as far as the C language standard is concerned since circa 1992. See Defect Report #047.

GCC3 silently supported a lot of "extensions" to the C standard such as incomplete types and lvalue casts. In GGC4 such extensions were dropped.
