Thread: A really stupid error about something defined???

Hi all!

I've got the following:

Code:

#define BC 60001;
....
wmID=LOWORD(pMsgDet->wParam);
if(wmID==BC){
...

then the thing throws a wobbler pointing to the:

if(wmID==BC){

line with the following errors:

error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before ';'
error C2059: syntax error : ')'


However, if I change that to:

if(wmID==60001){

then it compiles okay with no errors, but then of course it isn't handled correctly.


Thanks!!!

Remove the semicolon in the #define and you will be fine.

Yep, preproccessor commands don't end in semi-colons (unless you explicitly want the semicolon there).

Thanks guys! I'll remember that advice!
