syntax error before int

hellgirl · 09-14-2009, 12:36 PM

#include <errno.h>

extern int errno

#define MaxBuffV 1024

/* The Named Pipe Linkages...*/

#define FIFO1
#define FIFO2

int Client(int rfd, int wfd); /* line in question with error */

int main()
{
return 0;
)

int Client(int rfd, int wfd)
{
return 0l;
}

when I compile program in gcc compiler
I get a message saying at top level above main

error: syntax error before "int"

why is it doing this

This is probably the cause of the message

Code:

int main()
{
return 0;
) <<--

There are a few problems.

Code:

extern int errno

shouldn't be needed if you're already #include'ing errno.h
Even if it is, you need a semicolon at the end.

Code:

int main()
{
return 0;
)

The ) should be }
