warning: empty body in an if-statement ??

**samdomville** · 07-14-2008

Hello - I checked the FAQ/searched site but didn't find anything about this...

After compilation, I get a warning - warning: empty body in an if-statement but if I look at the if statement, it is all filled out exactly like this:

Code:

if(condition)
  function_name(exp_parameter1, exp_parameter1);

So, how is it even possible to see this warning? What is missing?

I am on a Linux machine btw.

Thanks!

The most likely scenario is that you have by mistake put a semicolon like this:

Code:

   if (condition);
      ...

Another possibility is that your function_name is not a function name, but rather a macro that expands to nothing when you compile it.
