Question

im porting c code to windows 32 bit using visual studio express
now i have 3 functions that i can’t find any alternatives in windows
they are:
alarm
bzero
bcopy
what are the equivalent methods in C win32 ?

Answer 1

From which platform are you porting to windows? Anyhow bzero and bcopy are depreciated since quite a while.

for bzero:

This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in
POSIX.1-2001): use memset(3) in new
programs. POSIX.1-2008 removes the
specifica-
tion of bzero().

for bcopy:

This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in
POSIX.1-2001): use memcpy(3) or
memmove(3) in new programs. Note that
the first
two arguments are interchanged for memcpy(3) and memmove(3).
POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification
of bcopy().

So just fix your code and use the proposed replacements.
