missing #endif problem

[mohan]

Hi All,

I have large file coded consisting of function implemented in c.
This function consissts of #if macro and corresponding. And somewhere
in the function i am missing to put #endif , Is there any utility to find it
out
I get syntax error

for example

#define XXX 1
void f()
{
#if XXX

}

int main()
{
f();
return 0;
}

I get here syntax error in the function f();

Is there any way to find out instead of doing manually

TIA

Hi All,

I have large file coded consisting of function implemented in c.

You'll probably want to re-factor this large function into several
shorter ones. Having large functions is generally (always?) a bad idea.

This function consissts of #if macro and corresponding.

"And corresponding" what? I guess #endif? But it doesn't...

And somewhere
in the function i am missing to put #endif , Is there any utility to find it
out

If it's missing, you can't find it out, can you? If you meant "find out
where it should have been" then, doesn't it depend on what exactly you
want to achieve with your #if/#endif section? There'd be no utility to
tell you that (high level/detailed design document could be a starting
point).

I get syntax error

for example

#define XXX 1
void f()
{
#if XXX

For example, here would be a good place to put your #endif, if you
wanted your function to be empty (do nothing) if XXX is defined as 0.
Just before the closing brace:

#endif /* XXX */

}

int main()
{
f();
return 0;
}

I get here syntax error in the function f();

As you well should, since you're missing an #endif...

Is there any way to find out instead of doing manually

Again, find out what, exactly? Where to put the #endif? See comments above.

TIA
