conio.h

[Kenneth Bull]

a simple program:

#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
getch();
return 0;
}

gives the following error:

POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_getch'.
POLINK: fatal error: 1 unresolved external(s).
*** Error code: 1 ***
Done.


The compiler works perfectly for any header and associated functions that I've tried, except conio.h.  Does anyone know what I might be missing?

Thank you.

Either use _getch() (not getch)..., or use the compiler option /Go.

Works beautifully.  Might I ask why the _ is required with default options for conio, but not for other functions (like io functions related to stdio.h)?

Functions that are not part of standard C (currently "C99") have names that start with an underscore...
