MySQL strmov()

[gerard4143]

The MySQL function mysql_real_escape_string() example uses a function strmov() that I can't get g++ to compile when I use it. The doc's from MySQL say that strmov() is part of the mysqlclient library so I should have access to it (shouldn't I). I haven't had any problems compiling my MySQL applications before this.

Has anyone had this problem? do you know a solution?

My solution was to write my own mystrmov() function. It seems to work fine but I would like to use the one MySQL created in case my function lacks some functionality.

I found this about strmov(). The link is: Re: Compilation problems.

I took out the m_string.h file from include directive and I get the following
error
----------------

gcc -g Bug_Report.c -O -o TEST1 -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib/mysql
-lmysqlclient -lnsl
/tmp/ccWyxVrf.o: In function `main':
/home/nicu/QA/Bug_Report.c:15: undefined reference to `strmov'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

----------------

Hope this helps

The file m_string.h does have the prototype for the function strmov. Turns out its the C function strcpy, which is exactly what I used,so I guess your posting did settle that issue. As for compiling a MySQL application with strmov(), still no go. But at least I know that strmov is strcpy...Thanks for your interest Gerard4143
