Error C2143 Syntax Error Missing Before String
me what is wrong with this program, and why I am getting this error: error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'.... extern void func(); int main(int argc, char ** argv){ func(); int i=1; for(;i<=5; i++) { register int number = 7; printf("number is %d\n", number++); } getch(); } c visual-studio-2010 share|improve this question asked Mar 29 '13 at 4:10 eLg 1062317 1 I haven't used visual in at least 8 years, but error c2143 syntax error missing before constant does Visual's limited C compiler support allow mixed code and variables? Is the line of the error on the declaration for int i=1; ?? Try moving it above the call to func(); Also, I would use extern void func(void); –Randy Howard Mar 29 '13 at 4:14 You're not showing the full code. The snipped in question is fine and should not produce any syntax errors. –Ionic Mar 29 '13 at 4:16 1 @RandyHoward: I believe that's the problem: Visual C doesn't permit mixing declarations and statements, a feature added to C by the 1999 ISO standard, which Visual Studio doesn't support. You should post that as an answer. –Keith Thompson Mar 29 '13 at 4:16 1 @RandyHoward: Not returning a value from main() isn't illegal. In C89/C90, it returns a undefined status to the environment. In C99, it's equivalent to return 0;. –Keith Thompson Mar 29 '13 at 4:20 1 It would be clearer to do the initial assignment to i in the for loop: int i; for (i = 1; i <= 5; i ++) .... (You could declare it there as well if MS supported C99.) –Keith Thompson Mar 29 '13 at 4:21 | show 4 more comments 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 19 down vote accepted I haven't used visual in at least

The code belongs to the Chowdren Clickteam Compiler. Now. I've been trying to fix this but the developer has been very busy. Now, I don't know C but I know a c2143 syntax error lot on Python and since this File is not Python. I can't fix it correctly. I've been getting a syntax error. (C:\Users\Scrubby\Desktop\Clickteam Fusion 2.5 Projects\Chowdren Exporter\anaconda-master\Chowdren\base\desktop\tinyfiledialogs.c(178) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type' C:\Users\Scrubby\Desktop\Clickteam Fusion 2.5 Projects\Chowdren Exporter\anaconda-master\Chowdren\base\desktop\tinyfiledialogs.c(184) : error C2065: 'lOldSubLen' : undeclared identifier) Now the compiler I'm using is so people will stop extracting my source code for my games. Now, here is the code. Any help will be GREAT. Line 178 and 184 are the ones that are breaking. int lOldSubLen = strlen ( aOldSubStr ) ; p = pOccurence + lOldSubLen ; ^^^ Thoses are the ones that are breaking. I posted the void thingy below with the two broken lines. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8W_QnKwKijNN1JPanB3NXg1MU0 OR static void replaceSubStr ( char const * const aSource , char const * const aOldSubStr , char const * const aNewSubStr , char * const aoDestination ) { char const * pOccurence ; char const * p ; char const * lNewSubStr = "" ; if ( ! aSource ) { * aoDestination = '\0' ;
