Dear all,

I am happy to be a member in this group. That is I am doing my 
research in the field of Embedded Syatems. 

At the moment I am trying to use ARM (LPC2129 v2) to do some 
experiments. I've had a problem with using the function Rand(). I 
think that this function has not been defined in GCC compiler yet. 
If I am right, could anybody have suggestions for me.

Thanks a lot,

Mouaaz

Mouaaz,

Are you calling Rand() or rand()?

Hi Curt,

Thanks for your concern.

What I did finally,
I copied the following statement from the file "stdlib.h":
extern int rand  (void);
and pasted it in the file in which rand() is used, then took out this 
line 
#include "stdlib.h" 
and the code worked.

Do you think that I am right? 

Aslo, I was wondering that there is no 64 bit data type in GCC 
compiler. Any idea?

Thanks very much.
Mouaaz

Have you tried long long ? e.g.

long long temp;

temp is then a 64bit signed int.

Thank you,

Yes I tried long long on the ARM compiler, it did give me 32-bit
