Why don't people look at warnings when they get them? Your piece of code generated 2 warnings (if turned on) when compiled as C because C assumes types when you do not declare a function. In C++ it's even an error to not declare function. When compiling code as C or C++, you're compiling against different standards. Different standards have different functions defined or not. You can change those standards with those defines. I agree that the manual page of ptsname(3) should be more clear about it and I suggest you file a bug for it. Kurt
