Chances are that you're using the function list_char_to_char2 before its
defined:
void code {
list_char_to_char2();
}
void list_char_to_char2 {
/* your code */
}
This is bad, and you'll have to prototype your functions before
you call them, else the compiler will make the assumption that your return
type on that function is 'int' (i believe, its been a while since I got
this error). Then, lateron, if you type it as returning void, its
considered a redefinition, and thats bad.
Prototype up at the top, or in a header file.
