I'm trying to move some code I have written and compiled succesfully with gcc under Visual Studio Express 2010.
I have the following header file.
#ifndef _SYMTAB_H_
#define _SYMTAB_H_
#define NHASH 997
typedef enum {NOTYPE, INTTYPE, DOUBLETYPE, STRINGTYPE} SYMBOLTYPE;
typedef union {
int intvalue;
double doublevalue;
char *stringvalue;
} SYMBOLVALUE;
typedef struct {
SYMBOLTYPE type;
char *name;
SYMBOLVALUE value;
} SYMBOL;
void initSymbolTable(void);
SYMBOL *lookup(char *sym);
SYMBOL *addIntSymbol(char *name, int value);
SYMBOL *addDoubleSymbol(char *name, double value);
SYMBOL *addStringSymbol(char *name, char *value);
char *getSymbolName(SYMBOL *sym);
int getIntSymbolValue(SYMBOL *sym);
double getDoubleSymbolValue(SYMBOL *sym);
char *getStringSymbolValue(SYMBOL *sym);
void printSymbolTable(void);
#endif
If I write a piece of code using that header file such as:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
initSymbolTable();
printSymbolTable();
SYMBOL *intSymbol = addIntSymbol("pippo", 10);
printSymbolTable();
printf("All tests successfull\n");
return 0;
}
I get the followin error:
error C2275: 'SYMBOL': illegal use of this type as an expression
which is descrideb here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/76c9k4ah(v=vs.71).aspx
Anyway I don'tunderstand what's wrong with that. I have also set the "Compile As" property to "Compile as C Code" in the prject properties under C/C++->Advanced. Moreover all files are saved as *.c and *.h.
You can't declare a variable mid-function in the version of C that Visual Studio supports. You need do declare it at the top:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
SYMBOL *intSymbol;
initSymbolTable();
printSymbolTable();
intSymbol = addIntSymbol("pippo", 10);
...
Alternatively, you can right-click the .c file that throws an error in Solution Explorer, go to C/C++ -> Advanced and set Compile As to compile as C++ code. That way you don't need to edit your sources.
