previous definition is here

I've got a struct

Code:

 typedef struct _entry{
    bool is_submenu;


    gchar *name;
    gchar *command;
    gchar *icon_path;


    struct _entry *subentry;
} entry;

Which gives me the following error message in clang

Code:

src/common.h:5:16: error: redefinition of '_entry'
typedef struct _entry
               ^
src/common.h:5:16: note: previous definition is here
typedef struct _entry
               ^

Makes no sense to me. GCC gives the same error. I tried out a minimal example...

Code:

typedef struct test_struct
{
    int some_data;
    struct test_struct *next_struct;
} test;


int main(void)
{
    return 0;
}

And it compiles just fine. Any ideas?

So if you change nothing else except _entry to something NOT beginning with an underscore (which is reserved by the way), do you still have the problem?

Yeah, same deal.

My guess would be missing header include guards.

For chrissake, I think you're right. I hate programming.

In a masochistic sort of way.
