Hmm what seems to be the problem here? error C2061: syntax error

pablowablo · #1 12-Jun-2004, 13:18

I have 3 files. A header file, and 2 .c files. When I include the header file in the first .c file it works fine... but when I compile the second .c file that includes the same header file I get the following error

Quote:

Compiling...
Mp3_Main_Decoder.c
f:\c++ mp3 decoder\bitstream.h(19) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'myFile'
f:\c++ mp3 decoder\bitstream.h(19) : error C2059: syntax error : ';'
Error executing cl.exe.

Mp3_Main_Decoder.obj - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Here are the files:

the header file:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

/***************************************************************************

  Description: This file contains the stream of data.. dito ung buffers.

struct stat results;
long size, count;
ifstream myFile;

STATUS openFile(STRING filename)
{
	/*if (stat(filename, &results) == 0)
		size = results.st_size;


	myFile.open(filename, ios::in | ios::binary);
	
	if(!myFile)
		return ERROR;

	return OK;*/
}

UINT32 GetByte()
{

/*	UCHAR8 * temp = 0;
	temp = new UCHAR8;
	
	
	myFile.read(temp, 1);

	cout << *temp << " eto \n";
	
	count++;
	return((UINT32)*temp);

*/
}

void movePointer()
{

	//myFile.seekp(size - 1);
}

void closeFile()
{
//	myFile.close();
}

this is the c file that compiles properly

CPP / C++ / C Code:



#include "Bitstream.h"
#include "Mp3_Declarations.h"
#include <iostream.h>
#include<fstream.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

void main()
{

	
	

	
 if(openFile("testing.mp3") == OK)

	Mp3_Read_Header();



 closeFile();
 }

the c file with errors

P.S. how do I do the syntax higlighting thing here? hmm C++ code?

aaroncohn · #2 12-Jun-2004, 13:39

Use the [C] & [/C] tags to hi-light your code. I can't really tell what the error is, but I have a question. Why is all of your code commented out in bistream.h?

machinated · #3 12-Jun-2004, 14:31

open your bistream.h and mp3declarations.h files and put in the following statements like so:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

//bitstream.h


//beginning of file
#ifndef __bitstream_h__   
#define__bitstream_h__ 


....
//file content
....

#endif
//end of file

do the same with mp3_declarations.h file and then see if you have any problems.

thanks, but I already tried that before and it didn't work

I still can't get it to work

Thanks! Wish I could edit my post here.... Anyway, the functions are commented out because it causes more errors. Hmmm I'm wondering why the line

CPP / C++ / C Code:

fstream myFile;

is the only one causing the errors, while the other declarations seem to be fine. I always get the same error whereever I put that particular line.

machinated · #5 12-Jun-2004, 21:47

try getting rid of .h and instead use std:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include<fstream>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

Your header file defines executable functions. It should be a CPP file.

You should not define variables and functions in headers -- only declarations.
