Hello,
I am trying to finish up a group project but I am running
into a small problem. I keep getting an error about fgetc not
being callable. The purpose of my program is to count the
number of characters in a file. Any bit of help is
appreciated!
Here's my code:
import std.stdio;
import std.file;
import std.string;
Since you're using the C library stdio functions, you should
import core.stdc.stdio
ok I added that in, but now its giving me this:
function core.stdc.stdio.getc (shared(_IO_FILE)* stream) is
not callable using argument types (File)
Am I just using getc the wrong way?
You're mixing Phobos' `File` object and C's FILE stream. You're
passing the `File` to getc which expects FILE. Also, if there's
no specific reason, you should prefer the Phobos' file (which
doesn't work with getc from C, as it would require obtaining the
C stream from Phobos object, which would not be the best idea).
