popen implicitly declared even though #include <stdio.h> is added

Question

This is tiny snippet of my code.

   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <unistd.h>
   #include <stdlib.h>
   #include <time.h>
   #include <sys/stat.h>
   #include <sys/wait.h>
   #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <string.h>
   #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <sys/socket.h>
   #include <netinet/in.h>
   #include <arpa/inet.h>
    ...

   FILE * pipe;
    ...

   pipe = popen ("ls /tmp -1", "r");
    ...
   pclose(pipe);

blarg.c:118: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

I'm really unsure. I looked up popen and all it requires is stdio.h which is provided. What is missing, or is the problem in the rest of my code (I don't really want to show more code because its an a assignment).

Answer 1

As the man page says:

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

popen(), pclose(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 2 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
|| _SVID_SOURCE

So you should #define _BSD_SOURCE or one of the others before #includeing stdio.h.

Answer 2

Replace -std=c99 or -std=c11 etc with -std=gnu99 or -std=gnu11.
