Your code is wrong. "How do I get gcc to compile this code with these
bugs?" is not a sensible question. Fix the bugs!
sorry
the code is not buggy. i think u have misunderstood the real problem statement.
so the problem in more detail is as below:
printf("kanishk");
the above code compiles perfectly with gcc -Wall.
gcc by default puts the string into read execute segment,but i want to
put string "kanishk" into writeable memory (or other than read execute
segment). Is there a way for doing this without making any change in
calling sequence (for example it may be regulated by some switch in
gcc) or there is no provision in C99 standard for it.
8000 lines is a small piece of code, and you should be able to fix it
in less than an hour or so.
