I guess you were using Clang as the C/C++ front-end. In C 
one can declare a function implicitly, by invoking the 
function. I presume that Clang is aware of the standard 
function 'strcpy', and issued a warning that you implicitly 
declared a C library function.

Solution: have the 'string.h' header included in your 
relevant source code file(s).


PS: this is a very common problem, you should have used
Google first.
