Common Porting Problems and Fixes

sys/dirent.h No Longer Includes Function Prototypes

Issue

Compilation errors may occur in code that previously worked with the old toolchain. For example:

#include <sys/dirent.h>
/* .... */
DIR* dir = opendir("test_dir");
/* .... */
/**
 * Compile error:
 * test.c: In function 'test_opendir':
 * test.c:100:16: error: implicit declaration of function 'opendir' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
 *   100 |     DIR* dir = opendir(path);
 *       |                ^~~~~~~
 */

Solution

To resolve this issue, the correct header must be included. Refactor the code like this:

#include <dirent.h>
/* .... */
DIR* dir = opendir("test_dir");
