Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2004-08-30 06:33:40 UTC
strdup is not an ISO C99 function, string.h is a ISO C99 header.
Therefore when requesting strict ISO C99 namespace strdup can't be
visible.
Please RTFM info libc about feature set macros.
Particularly, e.g. gcc -std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L,
-std=c99 -D_GNU_SOURCE (and similarly for other feature sets which include strdup)
will provide a strdup prototype.
