Error "type specifier omitted for parameter" in preprocessor directives??

[eminemence@gmail.com]

Hi,
I have been trying to get STLPort work for Symbian.
I am using CodeWarrior compiler and it spews this errors namely
*************** *************** *************** *************** *************
Error : type specifier omitted for parameter
string.h line 30
*************** *************** *************** *************** ************
The following is the line where I get this error:
Line 30 : # if (_STLP_OUTERMOS T_HEADER_ID == 0x269)
Line 31 : # include <stl/_epilog.h>
Line 32 : # undef _STLP_OUTERMOST _HEADER_ID
Line 33 : # endif

Can somebody please help me in getting this fixed.

What is _STLP_OUTERMOST _HEADER_ID defined as?

Its a simple #define noting else!!

Please go to

http://www.stlport.com/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi

STLport has its own forum, they can help you.

As to the code you posted, there is nothing in it to warrant that error
message.

If that's the actual code, then the problem is probably the spaces after the
# symbol. For example, instead of "# if", it should be #if". I'm not sure
if that's in the standard anywhere, but my compilers sure won't accept those
with spaces after the # symbol. If you want to indent, indent the # as
well, and you'll be fine. Try this:

#if (_STLP_OUTERMOS T_HEADER_ID == 0x269)
#include <stl/_epilog.h>
#undef _STLP_OUTERMOST _HEADER_ID
#endif

I thought the '#' had to be in the first column?

That's interesting. In my compiler I can do this:

# define BOO
# define BOO 69

Those are spaces where the white space is and it complies both
without errors or warnings. That surprised me. Is there a rule for
this?

Are you asking? We don't know what you thought. The '#' has to be the
first non-whitespace character on the line.

I have done all the things like a space before '#' and after '#' but it
doesn't matter the compiler doesn't care.
Anyway the errors gone after the proper files had been included.
