I have function with 3 parameters passed in.
The same funtion i am calling in other function and passing the 3 parameters but i get a warning message.

too few actual parameters.

Since the original function and function where i call the old function and passing the parameters are same,I couldnt understand why this warning message has come.How to rectify this warning message.
Please help me.

  • Thank you very much.

    There was a mistake in the header file decalration of the function.

  • There was a mistake in the header file decalration of the function.

    And the fact it was so hard to find is that you failed to abide by the 4 commandments of multi-file C programming:

    0) There shall be (at least) one header file for every .c file, with the possible exception of a project's "main.c".

    1) Every object with external linkage except main() shall be declared exactly once, and this declaration shall be in a header file.

    2) Never put a definition in a header.

    3) Every module must #include its own header(s), and this #include had better be the first non-comment line of the entire source file. Don't put obstacles between the fellow programmer and your header file.

    4) Never use the keyword "extern" in a .c file. Whenever you feel tempted to do that, #include the relevant header instead.

    5) Every header file has to be self-contained and idempotent. I.e. it has to be possible to compile the header all by itself, without special compiler switches or previous #includes, and it has to be possible to #include it as many times as you like, without ill effects.
