How do you fix an implicit function declaration?

Function name typo: Often the function name of the declaration does not exactly match the function name that is being called. For example, startBenchmark() is declared while StartBenchmark() is being called. I recommend to fix this by copy-&-pasting the function name from the declaration to wherever you call it.

What is implicit declaration of function error?

implicit declaration of function. So what does the gcc warning 'implicit declaration of function' mean (other compiler report a 'implicit parameter declaration')? Basically it means that the compiler has found a call to function for which he does not have a prototype.

What is a implicit declaration?

If a name appears in a program and is not explicitly declared, it is implicitly declared. The scope of an implicit declaration is determined as if the name were declared in a DECLARE statement immediately following the PROCEDURE statement of the external procedure in which the name is used.
