    That right at the end of your source file, you are missing a blank line.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    ISO C requires that c files end with a newline.
    It is too clear and so it is hard to see.
    A dunce once searched for fire with a lighted lantern.
    Had he known what fire was,
    He could have cooked his rice much sooner.

    Translating such an obscure compiler message such as this one either takes centuries of experience or a blood sacrifice to the elder compiler gods for a blessing of their great wisdom. The insight is thus indeed of divine origins.
    "Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods."
    -Christopher Hitchens
