c - Cannot pass a variable of my own (non-standard) type to a function -


i'm writing program must normalize audio *.wav file. there task "to display header's data": chunkid, chunksize , on.

i want make function named display_hdr (in order have less code in main.c file, become esier read code). have pass function header's variable (variable of type header) argument, writes 

functions.h|1|error: unknown type name 'header'|

main.c:

typedef struct fmt {     char        subchunk1id[4];     int         subchunk1size;     short int   audioformat;     short int   numchannels;     int         samplerate;     int         byterate;     short int   blockalign;     short int   bitspersample; } fmt;  typedef struct data {     char        subchunk2id[4];     int         subchunk2size;     int         data[]; } data;  typedef struct header {     char        chunkid[4];     int         chunksize;     char        format[4];     fmt         s1;     data        s2; } header;

header's variable declared in way:

header hdr;

and now, when try pass hdr function prints error:

functions.h|1|error: unknown type name 'header'|

functions.h

void display_hdr( header hdr ) {     printf("\n*********************************\n");     printf("wave file's metadata:\n\n");      printf("%4.4s\n",  hdr.chunkid   );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.chunksize );     printf("%4.4s\n",  hdr.format    );      printf("%4.4s\n",  hdr.s1.subchunk1id   );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.subchunk1size );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.audioformat   );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.numchannels   );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.samplerate    );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.byterate      );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.blockalign    );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.bitspersample );      printf("%4.4s\n",  hdr.s2.subchunk2id   );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s2.subchunk2size );   /// samples' size     printf("\n*********************************\n");     return; }

so, how pass variable of own (non-standard) type function argument?

"the scope of global variables can restricted placing declaration. visible declaration until end of current source file."

there no problem on subject ( no warning or error ). moved definition of struct (type) main.c function.c (where variable header of type hdr declared).

function.h

typedef struct fmt {     char        subchunk1id[4];     int         subchunk1size;     short int   audioformat;     short int   numchannels;     int         samplerate;     int         byterate;     short int   blockalign;     short int   bitspersample; } fmt;  typedef struct data {     char        subchunk2id[4];     int         subchunk2size;     int         data[]; } data;  typedef struct header {     char        chunkid[4];     int         chunksize;     char        format[4];     fmt         s1;     data        s2; } header;     /* `header` type created. */  header hdr;   /* after `header`type created. */  void display_hdr( header hdr ) {     printf("\n*********************************\n");     printf("wave file's metadata:\n\n");      printf("%4.4s\n",  hdr.chunkid   );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.chunksize );     printf("%4.4s\n",  hdr.format    );      printf("%4.4s\n",  hdr.s1.subchunk1id   );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.subchunk1size );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.audioformat   );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.numchannels   );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.samplerate    );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.byterate      );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.blockalign    );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s1.bitspersample );      printf("%4.4s\n",  hdr.s2.subchunk2id   );     printf("%d\n",     hdr.s2.subchunk2size );   /// samples' size     printf("\n*********************************\n");     return; }

ps

of course pass pointer function, i'd pass variable. there no need thought better (economy of memory).

the problem because of misunderstanding (poor/bad understanding) of 'scope' properly.

pss

maybe, andrew w's right in way, doesn't solve current problem. quite type of problem. worth reading too!

SPSS keyboard combination alters encoding -

my question not have programming practical issue on spss. accident keyword combination cannot remember because did not intend press changed encoding in spss , text in data in different language english shown small boxes. nevertheless, when kind of analysis performed different language text shown in output. does know reason? tried change encoding did not produce result. first, @ edit > options , see whether setting unicode or locale. might fix it. if have text in multiple languages, want unicode. otherwise, may have specific locale set wrong. can change set locale, need know locale want use.
