Error in typedef

[Joona I Palaste]

(e-mail address removed) scribbled the following:

Hi,

I'm getting a an error while compiling a file which includes "tcl.h"
(I'm using Borland C++):

tcl.h (393,39): , expected

Looking at the code shows:

typedef TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE Tcl_WideINT;

What's wrong with this? Please give me some hints!

Assuming TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE is a previously declared C type, and not a
macro, then the line above is absolutely OK and should not give any such
error. Are you sure it's not a macro? Does it say:
#define TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE <something>
anywhere in tcl.h or any file it includes? (For any value of
<something>.)
What does it say on the lines immediately preceding this line? Maybe
you have a statement there that doesn't terminate in a ; or a }.

Hi Joona,

thanks for the quick reply. You are right, it has to do with
TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE not being defined.

Thanks again,

No one here can tell you. The first thing to do is to look to the lines
before (1) #include "tcl.h" and (2) the "offending" line in tcl.h. Your
compiler says that it couldn't handle the line at "tcl.h (393,39)." The
most common reason for this is lines before it. If "tcl.h" is a widely
used header, then the "lines before it" rate to be the lines before your
#include.
Be sure as well that TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE has a legal definition visible at
that line.

Hi,

thanks for your reply. Of course you are right. Below are the lines that
have to do with this erorr. It has something to do with
TCL_WIDE_INT_TYPE not being declared. But I would assume that it will be
defined by the if-construct (if it's not alreday set), right?
