Compiling problem

I'm having an error while compiling my C++ program:

Quote:

---

error: expected ')' before "void"

---

Here is the code where the error is happening:

Code:

---

int main ()
{
    int pvr;

    if ( pvr void init_pvr() true);
    {
        return 0;
    }
    if ( pvr void init_pvr() false);
}

Help? Inserting ")" before "void" won't work. :(

I guess the question is -- what do you think "pvr void init_pvr() true" is supposed to mean? I mean, this isn't postscript or some stack based language. If you want to pass pvr to the function init_pvr, you put it inside the parentheses. And you can't compare with true, since apparently the function is void, which means it doesn't return anything, let alone true or false.

Alright, I removed the "int pvr". Now I get PLUS 1 error:

error: expected primary-experession before "void"

I would hope so. You don't use void when you call functions either, just like you don't always talk about "int pvr" when you use the variable, etc.

Oh wait... I think I don't need this "if" stack anymore, because if PVR graphics chip isn't working the error message won't display! I'm so stupid. :rolleyes:

Alright, I'm having issues in compiling, this time in a required area.
I get the following errors:

1) You are trying to create 2 types of struct blueprints with the same name. Illegal.
2) You are trying to overload functions only based on the return type. Illegal.

So what should I do? :S

Depends on what you are trying to do.
As I said, you cannot have two structs that have the same name.
And you cannot have 2 or more functions with the same name when they only differ with the return type. If they have different parameter lists, it's legal, but otherwise not.

Hmm. Is this for a PVR as in Imagination Technologies PVR?
