Summary:
SYMPTOMS
If parameter list declarations are used with type list declarations
in a prototype, Microsoft C versions 5.1, 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax will
generate a syntax error. Since ANSI does allow mixing declarators and
abstract declarators in the same prototype, this error message is
incorrect.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in C versions 5.1, 6.0,
6.0a, and 6.0ax. This problem was corrected in C/C++ version 7.0.
More Information:
The sample code below may be used to illustrate this problem. The
following are suggested workarounds:
1. Prototype with a parameter list. For example:
void func(int x, float y);
2. Prototype with a type list. For example:
void func(int, float);
Sample Code
-----------
void func(int x, float); // Error C2059: Syntax Error ')'
void main(void)
{
int x=1, y=2;
func(x, y);
}
void func(int a, int b)
{
}
