Dev C++ Rand Was Not Declared In This Scope
/download-exhale-vst-for-free.html. im looking to brush up on my C++ coding as its been a quite a few months since ive done anything with it and ive run into a snag with my coding and have spent hours with 2 Compilers (Bloodshed Dev C++ (where code was originally written)as well as Eclipse IDE) to no avail.
Installed cygwin but couldn't get gcc to work Got mingw-realized it was command line compiler only Tried Netbeans but for some reason it wouldn't work Even got Visual C express but it wouldn't compile the source to exe Was very frustrated and was gonna stick with Turbo C & DosBox, but luckily found Dev C and Code blocks. I downloaded Dev C because it was smaller in size(I have very slow internet.

Apr 18, 2011 Re: Codeblocks,C, rand was not declared. Rand is defined in cstdlib (there is no standard c random function yet). So include: #include. Also you have memory leaks in your code as you don't delete the created string. Generally you should avoid dynamically allocating stuff where it. The cstdlib header contains the definition for the exit function as csurfer said, however up until recently this header was generally included by dependency - often unnecessarily - by other headers. Source: vxl Source-Version: 1.17.0-2 We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of vxl, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.
i seem to keep getting these errors:
The weird part about this is that this code worked about 3-4 months ago the last time i ran it. and even when i substituted a simple random number output program instead the compilers still seemed to give me the same errors. Any help would be appreciated and i apologize in advance as i know this is going to be a very simple mistake on my part.

First off, just to be pedantic about it, Dev-C++ and Eclipse are not themselves compilers; they are development environments which call (presumably) the GCC compiler (which to be even more pedantic, is not actually a compiler either, just a driver for the compiler and linker). I know it sounds picayune to make such distinctions, but there's a reason I bring it up.
You see, development of the original Bloodshed Dev-C++ stopped about ten years ago, and as a result, the IDE (and the default compiler) is sort of frozen in time from around 2005. As a result, the many refinements and changes that have been made to GCC have not been added to it, and compiler that it defaults to is now quite out of date.
However, if you are using Eclipse (or the '>Orwell Dev-C++ fork, or '>Code::Blocks, or any other up-to-date IDE), you'll have the latest version of GCC bundled with (as of when you installed it, at least), with the latest and greatest default settings, many of which have to do with code validation. Furthermore, each IDE will have different default switches set when they call GCC, including in most cases -Wall (show all warnings), which Bloodshed Dev-C++ didn't set by default. So, if you are using a newer version of GCC, with a different set of switches set, you could end up with some surprises when compiling code that had seemed fine in the past.
Specifically, the checking for function prototypes has been tightened up significantly. The prototypes for the functions which you are getting errors for are mostly in <cstdlib>, which you haven't #includeed, hence the warnings.
BTW, if you are using the newer IDEs, they have almost universally fixed the bug in Dev-C++ that caused the output window to close when the program exits; so, if you are using a newer IDE, you don't actually need the system() call in any case. Eliminating that annoyance alone is reason enough to upgrade, I would say.
