Hi jonathan; Thanks for replay, i agree your point my question when i compile my code with below system *gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-55) * *ldd (GNU libc) 2.5* its compiling without any error and warning, but same code if try compile with below system *gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-28) (GCC) * *ldd (GNU libc) 2.17* its giving error why is that, any backward comparability is there. i mean any deprecated method is in new version, if yes what are deprecated method and where i can see the list On Sat, Jul 7, 2018 at 1:20 AM, Jonathan Wakely <jwakely.gcc@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Fri, 6 Jul 2018 at 20:46, Vahith .j <vahith@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > Hi > > Can you tell me any code change required when we are migrating from gcc > > 4.1.x version to gcc 4.8.x and any reference link for migrating code to > new > > compiler > > I already told you: remove the bad declaration of getline. > > This is not a general "migrating from gcc 4.1.x version to gcc 4.8.x > problem". > > It compiled previously, maybe by chance or maybe because you had a > different glibc, which is not part of gcc, and so nothing to do with > migrating to a newer gcc.
