Error C2143 and C2059

[Prashanth Kumar B R]

Hello,

I have the below typedef statements in one of my header file.

//
// Type Definitions
//
typedef unsigned long DWORD;
typedef unsigned int UINT;
typedef unsigned short WORD;
typedef unsigned char BYTE;
typedef unsigned char UNCHAR;
typedef int BOOL;
typedef unsigned int UINT32;
typedef unsigned char UINT8;
typedef unsigned short UINT16;

I get an error
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'constant'
error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'
both point to the line "typedef unsigned short WORD;"
Also note the errore are listed twice.

Can somebody help me with this.

Thanks

Are you sure WORD isn't already #define'd by some other header file?

kind regards,

Jos

All of these are defined by Microsoft already. Just include windows.h.
