Declaration syntax error e32const.h line 2636

[mikfi]

Hello guys,
I’ve recently moved to CodeWarrior.
I am building a DLL using SDK 3.0.
The DLL compiles and works in the emulator but if I rebuild it including another application .c file, I get this error, apparently from the library:

Error: declaration syntax error
E32const.h line 2636

Which refers to:
typedef TInt (*TLibraryEntry)(TInt);

For some reason I am prone to believe that is quite a silly problem due to some configuration error…
Does anyone have any suggestion?

THX,
Mik

Have you modified your e32const.h? In mine, TLibraryEntry is in the 2619th line, and line 2636 is TExceptionHandler.

[mikfi]

weird...
No I didn't modify it and indeed it has the same date & time of other headers (31.10.2005).
Are you using the same version?
Mine is Symbian 9.1, S60 3rd.

[mikfi]

SORRY !
I've mistaken the line, you were right: the line is 2636
and is:
typedef void (*TExceptionHandler)(TExcType);

Anyway it is just the first error in the same file...
Then I get many others (following output is from command line, but it sthe same in codewarrior):

I am not sure, but these weird things can happen when you forget ';' at the end of some type declarations (class, enum, etc.). Check the end of your ptypes.h, CB1_Protocol.h, GPS_DSP_Conf.h and CFM_api.h. If everything seems to be ok, also check the end of the file you include just before CFM_api.h in CFM_api.c.
Maybe it helps.

[mikfi]

Thank you for pointing me to the right direction where to look at.
In one of these include files I discovered that the following line is the cause of that weird error:

typedef void (*pf_NoRet_U32Arg) (TUint32);

Honestly I don't understand why, but at the moment I can live without...
Thanks,
Mik

[Paul.Todd]

The key to this is that you are trying to include a C++ header file when building as a C unit of compilation.

You will need to edit gcce.mk and change the C_LANG_OPTION to "-x c++" from "-x c"

This forces GCCE to compile the c code as c++

[mikfi]

Thank you very much!
that was indeed...
you changed my day
Thanks,
mik

[mikfi]

Doing the suggested change in gcce.mk fixes the problem for target compliation.
Does anyone know how to fix the same in CodeWarrior for emulator compilation?

Thanks,
Mik

[Paul.Todd]

To be honest we hav'nt seen in it Codewarrior 3.1 compilation

[alexs@servision.net]

in my case it was
#include e32cmn.h
in one of the .c files.
under GCCE it needs it to find memset function ,but under emulator it creates described problem.
ive chenged it to
#ifdef __GCCE__
#include e32cmn.h
#endif
and now it works fine both ways.
