Looks like a bug in the compiler
PostPosted: Fri Aug 13, 2004 11:34 am     Reply with quote
Here are the 2 snippets of code, and each produces a compile error:

Code:

struct structDateTime
{
   int8  iDay;       // day of month
   int8  iMonth;     // month
   int16 iYear;      // year
   int8  iHour;      // hour
   int8  iMinute;     // minute
   int8  iSecond;    // seconds (future use)
}

int   control_err;    //COMPILE ERROR: Expecting an identifier


Code:

struct structDateTime
{
   int8  iDay;       // day of month
   int8  iMonth;     // month
   int16 iYear;      // year
   int8  iHour;      // hour
   int8  iMinute;     // minute
   int8  iSecond;    // seconds (future use)
};         // NOTE THE SEMICOLON

int   control_err;    //No error
// more declarations
int16 g_iTreatCount;   
structDateTime sNow;  //COMPILE ERROR: Expecting a (

void self_test();
// more prototypes...
// function definitions...
// main()



Looks loke a bug in the compiler to me.

Okay, here's the workaround

Code:

typedef struct
{
   int8  iDay;       // day of month
   int8  iMonth;     // month
   int16 iYear;      // year
   int8  iHour;      // hour
   int8  iMinute;     // minute
   int8  iSecond;    // seconds (future use)
}  structDateTime; 
structDateTime sNow;

I don't think the semi-colon at the end is optional.
Look at this article in MSDN:

Brush up on your C

struct structDateTime sNow;

Or either create a typedef
