"any.h": E2293 ) expected at line 210 ... why?

[j. smith]

Hi,

I need your help!
Why does Borland Builder says

E2293 ) expected at line 210

when using the fellowing line:

virtual void Parse(const TCHAR* szValue) = 0;


You guys any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Is TCHAR defined?
Hopefully this is a member function definition.

Is that line 210?

Are there any other errors, especially related to an include file? Previous
errors (and sometimes warnings) can sometimes make something look like an
error that is not, because the parser gets confused.

Does line 209 look anything like

int GetProperty() const { return m_property; // note lack of trailing }

As Howard indicated, it's almost certainly an error somewhere before
this line, and the parser doesn't realize it until here.

Hi,

thank you very much for your pleasant help!

207: virtual bool ToBool() const = 0; // like XPATH function boolean()
208:
209: virtual void Empty() { m_bIsEmpty = true; }
210: virtual void Parse(const TCHAR* szValue) = 0;
211: virtual CSchemaType& Assign(const CSchemaType& rOther) = 0;
212:
213: bool IsEmpty() const { return m_bIsEmpty; }

These lines are part of generated code from Altova XMLSpy.
When I use G++ as compiler no errors occur. In this case it's Borland C++ Builder 6.

So what am I doin wrong?

Thanks again!

Curse my choice of non-programmer friendly font in my newsreader! I
read your original post as having the compiler complain about a missing
close brace, not a missing close parenthesis.

Everything there looks fine to me.

Now that is strange. A missing bracket of any kind will always be a
syntax error. If g++ handles it okay, then the code must be valid. So,
it points to some environmental difference (such as include files).

Do both compilers use the same include files (by which I mean when you
say #include <string> do both of them find <string> in the same place)?
If so, you may be able to convince the compilers to give you a list of
include files as they are used (I know MSVC++ has this option, I assume
other compilers will too) and compare the outputs for hints.

Otherwise, I guess you may be stuck with commenting out parts of the
code until the error goes away, and using that as a hint that will
hopefully point towards where the actual problem is.

It obviously has something to do with the TCHAR thing. Lots of
error-msgs follows which focus on the same problem.
As I said in a later post this code-snippet is part of Altova XMLSpy
2004 Ent. generated C++ code based upon XercesC. When using G++ as a
compiler (instead of bcc32 in this case) everything seems to work
fine.
I just have the MSVC++ project file but I use CBuilderX as IDE.

Anyone knows a solution?

Thanks again.

TCHAR is a goofy variable in the Microsoft-specific runtimes.
It is either "char" or "wchar_t" based on whether the UNICODE
(or is it _UNICODE) is defined.

Go to MSDN.MICROSOFT. COM and type tchar or Unicode into
the search engine for more info.
