    Error during compilation.

    Hi:

    I am using Visual Studio 2010, I am getting an error while compiling the following header file.

    Code:
    bool normalize_exponent(limeq_price* set, size_t nmemb, int8_t* min_exponent);
    Code:
    bool decode_siac_sales_conditions(uint8_t siac_sales_conditions, uint8_t additionalProperties, char sales_conditions[SIAC_SALES_CONDITIONS_LEN]);
    I am getting the following error during compilation.

    common_util.h(198): error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'normalize_exponent'
    common_util.h(198): error C2059: syntax error : ';'
    common_util.h(198): error C2059: syntax error : 'type'
    common_util.h(206): error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'decode_siac_sales_conditions'
    common_util.h(206): error C2059: syntax error : ';'
    common_util.h(206): error C2059: syntax error : 'type'
    I would really appreciate if someone can help me.

    Regards
    Arup

    Are those prototypes? If that is the functions definition then you have to get rid of those semicolons at the ends.

    Hi Syscal, thanks for your reply, this is a vendor code that I have to integrate in my c++ project. I have uploaded both the header and c file for your reference.

    I think your C file needs to include stdint.h to get declarations for int8_t etc.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
