Another syntax error

**caldeira** · 09-03-2008

hi it seems that i can resolve it on my one! "parse error at end of input
"

**~~master5001~~** · 09-03-2008

Ummm... what about the comment thing? Did you fix that? Why not just get an IDE that halfway tries to help you spot indiscrepencies in code blocks and comments? VC++ Express can do that, and its free.

**dwks** · 09-03-2008

Well, posting your latest code and error message would certainly help us tell what you've managed to do . . .

. . . only, because it's so long, I suggest attaching it instead of putting it into code tags.

[edit] Or install Linux and get KDevelop.

I used kate's CTRL-6 to find the missing bracket. (CTRL-6 jumps the cursor to the matching brace.) [/edit]

Please! But if you must use Windows (or in my case, must have one dev machine dedicated to that OS family) MSVS is a decent enough IDE... The Express versions are all free.

Or just try compiling, say, at least every ten lines or so, as Salem suggested.

As I was saying, though: the last seven or so functions in that code are so similar that you ought to be able to combine them into one function.

Code:

    printf("\nQual o Nome do Utente:");
    fflush(stdin);
    fgets(nomeUtenteTemp, 20+1, stdin);
    if(nomeUtenteTemp[0] == '\r'  ||  nomeUtenteTemp[0] == '\n'){

fgets() won't give you any '\r's -- only getch() will [1]. Well, you also get '\r's if you're reading a file with DOS line endings from Linux, but I don't think you need to worry about that (it looks like you're expecting user input, not redirected files).

[1] getch() isn't the best idea, either. It's unportable and non-standard, and often doesn't play well with standard C input functions like fgets().

Also, an explanation for my fflush comment earlier: cpwiki.sf.net/fflush

I have to admit, there is nothing more satisfying than writing an entire program (thousands of lines of code) without compiling it until the very end, and having it both compile flawlessly and run without any snags.

Even for an advanced programmer that is a foolish way of doing things, however. Your IDE gives you no indication whatsoever as to where in the code that things broke?

You can start by getting rid of getch. It's non-standard, and it obviously doesn't exist in Microsoft's compiler. Use getchar() instead or nothing at all.

And the actual problem lies at line 692. This snippet:

Code:

        /* fgets(ptrTempUtente->tipoAssistencia, 40+1, stdin );
                    if(ptrTempUtente->tipoAssistencia[0] == '\r'  ||  ptrTempUtente->tipoAssistencia[0] == '\n')
                        printf("\nAtencao, deixou o campo vazio" );
                    }
        //fgets(tipoAssistenciaTemp, 30+1, stdin );
        //if(pUtentes->tipoAssistenciaTemp[0] == '\r'  ||  pUtentes->tipoAssistenciaTemp[0] == '\n'){
           // printf("\nAtencao, deixou o campo vazio" );
        //}

        ptrTempUtente = criarNO(pUtentes);
        insereAcabeca(&cabecaUtente,ptrTempUtente);
        listaFicheiroAlterado=TRUE;
        getch();*/
    }
}

Follow these steps

1. Put this on the first line

Code:

#if 0

Put this on the last line of the file

Code:

#endif
int main ( ) {
  return 0;
}

Make sure it compiles with no errors.

2. Move the #if 0 past the includes, so now it looks like this

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#if 0

Make sure it compiles with no errors.

3. Move it past the #defines, so it looks like this

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define TRUE            0
#define FALSE           1
#define LEN_FICHEIRO      256
#define FICHEIRO_DEFAULT  "dadosBin.dat"
#if 0

Make sure it compiles with no errors.

4. Move is past ONE typedef, so

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define TRUE            0
#define FALSE           1
#define LEN_FICHEIRO      256
#define FICHEIRO_DEFAULT  "dadosBin.dat"

/* ESTRUTURAS  */

/* estrutura que define  o no */

typedef struct no {
    struct no *prox;
    struct no *ant;
    void *dados;
}NO;
typedef NO *PNO;
#if 0

Make sure it compiles with no errors.

At each stage, you MAKE SURE IT COMPILES before moving the #if 0 past the next set of declarations / function definitions or whatever.

It's a quick way of hiding a lot of code from the compiler without having to delete it.

It also means you only have to deal with a few problems at a time, rather than the mass you have at the moment.

If you do get stuck, it means you can simply delete everything between #if 0 .. #endif before posting. Then we have a lot less to look at.

The kicker is that he was already alerted to that error... And did not say whether or not it was even fixed. Though it may be a good idea to address every warning you are getting too. Not to mention any other errors.

**caldeira** · 09-04-2008

hi guys its me again, my code still doesn´t work!!! help...

**noops** · 09-04-2008

Have you taken the suggested steps to narrow down the problem?

**~~master5001~~** · 09-04-2008

Dude, can you fix the code, particularly by taking heed to Salem's suggestions then attach a copy of your newer code?

yes you are wrigth i ´sorry to take your time, its working salem, master5001
