g++ error: ‘stricmp’ was not declared in this scope (but OK for 'strcmp')

Question

I am trying to compile the following very very simple piece of source code:

#include 
// #include 
// using namespace std;

cl         


        

Answer 1

stricmp is neither POSIX nor ANSI, so it doesn't really matter if strcmp is allowed, if your compiler or standard library is strictly adhering to POSIX or ANSI standard library functions (as is probably the case with the GCC suite).
