Weird (stupid?) Problem: error C2448: '<Unknown>'

After a loong hitaeus from C++, due to other obligations, I decided to 'finish' my TicTacToe game; come to realize it was a complete mess I started again. I'll post the main function, that's what I belive to be causing the problem..

Code:

int main ()
{
	init();
	table();
	while (1)
	{
		if (moves <= 9)
		{
			if (checkWin(playerup) != 0 || checkWin(playerup) != 1)
			{
				getInput(playerup);
				setInput(playerup);
				SYSTEM("CLS");
				playerup = 'o';
			} else {
				if (playerup == 'x')
				{
					cout << playername1 << " wins! Congratulations.";
					table();
					return 0;
				} else {
					cout << playername2 << "wins! Congratulations.";
					table();
					return 0;
				}
			}
		} else {
			cout << "No winner this time; thanks for playing!";
			table();
			return 0;
		}

	}
	
}

And here are the errors:

C:\My Documents\TicTacToe2\tictactoe.cpp(19) : error C2448: '<Unknown>' : function-style initializer appears to be a function definition
C:\My Documents\TicTacToe2\tictactoe.cpp(19) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing cl.exe.

tictactoe.obj - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

The first error points to the line where I initialize main, I can't figure out what I did wrong; although its probably something stupid. I assume the second error is derived from the first so that's not a worry..

After adding in a few global vars, #include <iostream> and <cstdlib>, and setting up some stubbed functions, this program compiled fine for me on Dev-C++.

My guess is that you typo'd one of your global vars or functions.


Post the whole code?

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>

char player1 = 'x';
char player2 = 'o';
char playerup = 'x';
USHORT i, ii, iii, x, y, moves, move;

void table(void);
int init(void);
int getInput(char player);
int setInput(char player);
USHORT checkWin(playerup)

int main ()
{
	init();
	table();
	while (1)
	{

I tried a few things, its still not working..

Your line: USHORT checkWin(playerup)

Error: function-style initializer appears to be a function definition

What is this ? A prototype ? Playerup needs a type. This line is missing a semicolon. The function implementation of it is missing the type, too.
