Question

All im trying to do is add a string to strcpy and concatenate with a short. But i am getting two error doing this the code is below

struct local_stack_def
  {

   char *result;
   char delims[3];
   char user_id_E[200];
   short user_maxlen, range_eulm, imp_eulm, len_eulm;
   char msg_eulm[400];
   /*MORE VARIABLE REMOVED TO SHORTEN LENGTH*/
  };

  short  pool_err;
  struct local_stack_def *l;


  l  = POOL_GETSPACE_(i_exit_cb->Pool_addr,sizeof(struct local_stack_def),&pool_err );


    /*MORE VARIABLE REMOVED TO SHORTEN LENGTH*/

  if (l->resultFR != 0)
     {
      l->range_eulm= 1501;
      strcpy(l->msg_eulm,"FILENAME_RESOLVE_ ERROR - ERROR#:");
      strcat(l->msg_eulm, l->resultFR);

With the strcpy and strcat i get these errors

strcpy(l->msg_eulm,"FILENAME_RESOLVE_ ERROR - ERROR#:");     
 Warning 207: address pointing at code space is taken

 strcat(l->msg_eulm, l->resultFR);
 Warning 86: argument 2 conflicts with formal definition

Answer 1

Both functions work on char* types.
When you use strcpy on some constant string you defined, this string is located in code space which could be a problem, hence the warning.

The second error is caused because you cannot concat an integer to a string.
When you want to print the value of this short you need to convert it for example via sprintf into an char* and than concat this char*.
