error C3861: 'roundf': identifier not found - c++

I'm normally good at googling stuff like this but I can't seem to find anything this time.
I downloaded some source code from here and it uses a function called roundf.
I already have #include <math.h> and as a first thought added #include <cmath> but still have the problem. I can't seem to find out where the function originates...
Is there an alternative function? Or does anyone know where it comes from so I can include the header file?

The roundf() function is defined by C99, but MSVC implements very little of C99, so it is not available with the Microsoft compilers.
You can use this one:
float roundf(float x)
{
return x >= 0.0f ? floorf(x + 0.5f) : ceilf(x - 0.5f);
}

You also can use a boost library:
#include <boost/math/special_functions/round.hpp>
const double a = boost::math::round(3.45); // = 3.0
const int b = boost::math::iround(3.45); // = 3

call of overloaded ‘abs(double&)’ is ambiguous

we have following code in legacy and use this place hundread of place. I am compiling code with c++11 and got following error. I can understand issue(saw couple of question on stackoverflow) as abs support int/long int in C++11.
Is there any way to avoid 100 place and replace abs with fabs. Can I update such a way if it can handle both version. any input.
call of overloaded ‘abs(double&)’ is ambiguous
double abs(double d)
{
return (d < 0 ? -d : d);
}
Why redefine what is already defined?
You can find the function that you want in the header <cmath>.
Further reading on c++ reference.
#include <cmath>
add this header file and try to use abs() built-in function and see that work or not.

Why round() is known by mingw but not by visual studio compiler

Sample code which is valid and gets compiled by gcc but not by VS compiler:
#include <cmath>
int main()
{
float x = 1233.23;
x = round (x * 10) / 10;
return 0;
}
but for some reason, when I am compiling this in Visual Studio I get an error:
C3861: 'round': identifier not found
I do include even cmath as someone suggested here: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/cpp/threads/270269/boss_loken.cpp147-error-c3861-round-identifier-not-found
Is this function in gcc only?
First of all, cmath is not guaranteed to bring round into the global namespace, so your code could fail, even with an up-to-date, standards compliant C or C++ implementation. To be sure, use std::round (or #include <math.h>.)
Note that your C++ compiler must support C++11 for std::round (<cmath>). A C compiler should support C99 for round (from <math.h>.) If your version of MSVC doesn't work after the fix I suggested, it could simply be that that particular version is pre-C++11, or is simply not standards compliant.
You also can use a boost library:
#include <boost/math/special_functions/round.hpp>
const double a = boost::math::round(3.45); // = 3.0
const int b = boost::math::iround(3.45); // = 3
Visual Studio 2010 (C99) doesn't support round but ceil and floor functions, so you may want to add your own function like;
long long int round(float a)
{
long long int result;
if (a-floor(a)>=0.5)
result = floor(a)+1;
else
result = floor(a);
return result;
};
The std::round nor #include <math.h> supported at the VS 2010 according to my experience.
I would use floor twice to get the correct rounded value,
long long int round(float a)
{
long long int result = (long long int)floor(a);
return result + (long long int)floor((a-result)*2)
};

Embedding Python 3.3: How do I access _PyParser_Grammar?

I am attempting to emulate the Python/C API's PyRun_InteractiveLoop() function, but from a different input system used by my employer. The Python FAQ (http://docs.python.org/3/faq/extending.html#how-do-i-tell-incomplete-input-from-invalid-input) has the following code, used to check if a given character array is a complete Python block:
#include <Python.h>
#include <node.h>
#include <errcode.h>
#include <grammar.h>
#include <parsetok.h>
#include <compile.h>
int testcomplete(char *code)
/* code should end in \n */
/* return -1 for error, 0 for incomplete, 1 for complete */
{
node *n;
perrdetail e;
n = PyParser_ParseString(code, &_PyParser_Grammar,
Py_file_input, &e);
if (n == NULL) {
if (e.error == E_EOF)
return 0;
return -1;
}
PyNode_Free(n);
return 1;
}
This gives an undeclared variable error for _PyParser_Grammar. Searching the Python source code, I did not find any headers that declared _PyParser_Grammar. Looking further, I found it referenced by a few functions, in particular meta_grammar() and Py_meta_grammar() as defined in metagrammar.c.
While meta_grammar() is defined in pgen.h, it gives an undefined symbol error despite compiling (g++ for my test code) with -lpython3.3m. A quick nm revealed that meta_grammar() is not a visible symbol in libpython3.3m.so, while Py_meta_grammar() is. However, when searching the Python source code, I have not found any header that declares Py_meta_grammar().
Am I missing something? Where are these symbols declared/defined?
After a great deal of faffing about, it seems there are no headers declaring _PyParser_Grammar. However, declaring
extern grammar _PyParser_Grammar;
in each of the C++ source files that need access works perfectly. Not particularly elegant, but at least it compiles.

How can I enable hash in C++ Standard Library?

I have tried using #include<hash_map> and #include <hash_set> and I still get the same errors.
Here is my code:
void HashTable_chaining::remove( const string & x )
{
int hash_index = hash( x, theLists.size( ) ) ;
list<string>& whichList = theLists[ hash_index ];
// search to make sure element not present
for(list<string>::iterator itr=whichList.begin();itr!=whichList.end();itr++) {
if(*itr==x) {
theLists[hash_index].erase(itr);
return;
}
}
// element not found - so nothing to remove
}
And my errors are:
Error 8 error C2872: 'hash' : ambiguous symbol c:\users\aaron johnson\desktop\program 5(johnson- noakes)\program 5(johnson- noakes)\chaining.cpp 32 1 Program 5(Johnson- Noakes)
And I have 8 of these errors. Any suggestions? How can I find out which headers have to be included to use hash?
Is hash a function of your own?
If so, try putting it in a namespace of your own and then call the function like
int hash_index = yournamespace::hash( x, theLists.size() );
If you want to use the std::hash: It is defined in
#include <functional>
You can find the entire C++ spec here online, including our friend "std::hash":
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/hash
hash_set and hash_map is available in the SGI STL. Take a look at the following pages:
http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/hash_map.html
http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/hash_set.html

cmath functions generating compiler error

I've written a small program that utilizes the Fast Light Toolkit and for some reason a compiler error is generated when trying to access the functions in the cmath header.
Such as error ::acos has not been declared.
This goes on for pretty much every function it tries to use in the header. What could I be missing?
The header files I have included are
Simple_window.h
Graph.h
both of which are part of the FLTK.
The code is this:
#include "Simple_window.h" // get access to our windows library
#include "Graph.h" // get access to graphics library facilities
int main()
{
using namespace Graph_lib; // our graphics facilities are in Graph_lib
Point tl(100,100); // to become top left corner of window
Simple_window win(tl,600,400,"Canvas"); // make a simple window
Polygon poly; // make a shape (a polygon)
poly.add(Point(300,200)); // add a point
poly.add(Point(350,100)); // add another point
poly.add(Point(400,200)); // add a third point
poly.set_color(Color::red); // adjust properties of poly
win.attach(poly); // connect poly to the window
win.wait_for_button(); // give control to display engine
}
Edit: Here is example code of when the compiler error is generated. This is inside the cmath header.
namespace std
{
// Forward declaration of a helper function. This really should be
// an `exported' forward declaration.
template<typename _Tp> _Tp __cmath_power(_Tp, unsigned int);
inline double
abs(double __x)
{ return __builtin_fabs(__x); }
inline float
abs(float __x)
{ return __builtin_fabsf(__x); }
inline long double
abs(long double __x)
{ return __builtin_fabsl(__x); }
using ::acos; //ERROR HERE
inline float
acos(float __x)
{ return __builtin_acosf(__x); }
inline long double
acos(long double __x)
{ return __builtin_acosl(__x); }
template<typename _Tp>
inline typename __enable_if<double, __is_integer<_Tp>::_M_type>::_M_type
acos(_Tp __x)
{
return __builtin_acos(__x);
}
Edit: Code::blocks is saving files as C files....
When you include the C++ version (<cXXXX>) of standard C libraries all the symbols are defined within the std namespace. In C++ you do not need to link against the math library (-lm is not required)
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << std::fabs( -10.5 ) << std::endl;
}
I had this problem - it was driving me crazy but I tracked down the cause, and it was a little different than what I've seen reported on this issue.
In this case, the general cmath header (or math.h - the error and solution occur in C++ or C) had architectural environment switches to include architecture specific math subheaders. The architecture switch (environment variable) hadn't been defined, so it was punting and not actually including the headers that truly defined the math functions.
So there was indeed a single math.h or cmath.h, and it was included, but that wasn't enough to get the math functions. In my case, rather than define the architectural variable, I instead found the location of the correct sub math headers and added them to my compile path. Then the project worked!
This seems to be an issue that comes up a lot when porting Linux projects to OS-X. I'd imagine it might occur anytime a project was moved betwee platforms such that the standard library headers are arranged differently.

Since your code as shown above does not directly call acos(), there is arguably a bug in one of the headers that you do use. It appears there is some (inline) code in one of the headers that invokes the acos() function without ensuring that the function is properly declared. This might be a macro or an inline function.
The best fix is to ensure that the headers are self-contained - change the headers.
If that is not possible, the hackaround is to include the appropriate header (#include <cmath>, probably) in the source code.
The program is able to access the cmath header, the error is in the cmath header itself.
In that case, you will probably need to provide a global acos() function (declaration at least, possibly definition too) that calls onto std::acos():
double acos(double x) { return std::acos(x); }
Just make sure this is not inside any namespace - not even the anonymous one. (Check compiled with G++ 4.0.1 on MacOS X, with '#include <cmath>' preceding it. Given that you have a problematic <cmath> header, you might need to get fancy:
extern double std::acos(double);
double acos(double x) { return std::acos(x); }
#include <cmath>
This is pretty nasty - are you sure there isn't a bug-fixed version of your compiler?
Is there any chance that you've got '#include <cmath>' inside a namespace?
It also happens in Visual C++, in programs that do not sapuse to use cmath.
I found that the problem is that I used main.c file instead of main.cpp file.
The error is most likely to be in your code and not in cmath... unless you changed something in cmath. Could you copy the errors and tell us what is the application you are using to program?
