Working on moving some C++ code from Linux over to Windows. The code uses boost 1.4.2, however it keeps failing out on building the boost modules. Basically, every boost hpp file that happens to contain "namespace boost" errors with:
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'namespace'
Any idea what could be causing this?
Loss of ; before including Boost header could be cause of that. The following code produce such error:
struct X {} // << ; lost here
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
This small code gives me the following error:
boost/config/suffix.hpp(460) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'namespace'
Have you tried including these boost headers on the first line? If they compile fine that way, it's likely a missing ; in one of the headers included before them.

I am building a User Defined Function in ANSYS Fluent which calls my installation of MSVS 2017 to compile the code. The problem is I get the error:
fatal error C1128: number of sections exceeded object file format limit: compile with /bigobj
I have found others with this problem, but I still have not been able to figure out how to add a line in my code to get the compiler to recognize this. Based on finding other snippets of code online, I have tried to add the lines after the includes at the top of the code:
#include "udf.h"
#include "unsteady.h"
#include "dynamesh_tools.h"
ADD_DEFINITIONS(/bigobj)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} /bigobj")
But this gives the errors:
..\..\src\MY_UDF.c(10): error C2143: syntax error: missing ')' before '/'
..\..\src\MY_UDF.c(10): error C2143: syntax error: missing '{' before '/'
..\..\src\MY_UDF.c(10): error C2059: syntax error: '/'
..\..\src\MY_UDF.c(10): error C2059: syntax error: ')'
I don't understand these errors, as these were copied from someone else's working code. I also tried, from a different snippet I found online:
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -bigobj
But this gives the error below.
..\..\src\MY_UDF.c(9): error C2143: syntax error: missing '{' before '+='
..\..\src\MY_UDF.c(9): error C2059: syntax error: '+='
This is the top of my udf file, which runs until I add too many lines to it and get the error shown above.
#include "udf.h"
#include "unsteady.h"
#include "dynamesh_tools.h"
I expect the code to compile but it doesn't. I have not found any solution that shows exactly how to tell the compiler what it tells me I should tell it.
Your answer is in the link below, you must just add a /bigobj to the makefile_nt.udf file of Fluent! Thats really a life saver!

I'm working on a C++ solution. It builds and runs just fine on my main computer, but transferring it to a different computer results in those build errors:
Error D8003: missing source filename in cl
Error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<' at the declaration of a CMap in the header file.
Could someone direct me to the possible causes of this?
It does seem that you need to have #include <afxtempl.h> in your src/header file.
I've been going bonkers the last week on this problem.
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2013
Freetype 2.5.5
Windows 8.1
Building as C++ application
I've been trying to build against a static library for Freetype, I've tried after building the lib using the included VC2010 project and also downloading a pre-built library with no luck. I always get the same errors below. I've tried with multiple examples and the same. I'm able to successfully compile and link against the lib using gcc (after building a .a library), this problem seems to be isolated to Visual Studio..
1>f:\audio\libs\header\freetype\fterrdef.h(35): error C2143: syntax error : missing '}' before '('
1>f:\audio\libs\header\freetype\fterrdef.h(35): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<L_TYPE_raw>'
1>f:\audio\libs\header\freetype\fterrdef.h(35): error C2059: syntax error : '<L_TYPE_raw>'
1>f:\audio\libs\header\freetype\fterrors.h(164): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'
1>f:\audio\libs\header\freetype\fterrors.h(177): error C2059: syntax error : '}'
1>f:\audio\libs\header\freetype\fterrors.h(177): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'
1>f:\audio\libs\header\freetype\freetype.h(38): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'
1>f:\audio\libs\header\freetype\freetype.h(38): error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)
Example code that can cause this error:
#include <windows.h>
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
return 0;
}
I had the same issue while building FreeType2 in VS2013 with VS2013 toolset (SDK). No Google results seem to have answer to this so far so I thought I'd share even though the thread is bit old (but the problem is still recent! FreeType ver. 2.6 still suffers from the same problem).
For reference, this can be reproduced by minimal example:
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
FT_Library library;
So the problem and solution is quite simple but was unfortunately buried in output log and wasn't that obvious at first glimpse so it needed some investigation.
There is a clash with header names between FreeType2 library and Windows SDK, namely with the fttypes.h file which gets dragged in from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\shared\fttypes.h
Instead, VS should include FT2 header that is located in:
your_FT2_root\include\fttypes.h
This is easy to workaround - in your Project Properties (Alt+F7) rearrange header search paths so FreeType2 path is first (for me bringing FT2 at the top worked like a charm).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

I am currently working on a Qt application with many #include files from the Qt library. The project is quite large and I have encountered a strange problem when building. The errors displayed are all inside the QPainterpath.h file, but has nothing to do with calls to it from my project. The errors all look like this:
c:\qt\4.8.4\include\qtgui../../src/gui/painting/qpainterpath.h(397) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '::'
c:\qt\4.8.4\include\qtgui../../src/gui/painting/qpainterpath.h(397) : error C2059: syntax error : '::'
c:\qt\4.8.4\include\qtgui../../src/gui/painting/qpainterpath.h(398) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '{'
c:\qt\4.8.4\include\qtgui../../src/gui/painting/qpainterpath.h(398) : error C2447: '{' : missing function header (old-style formal list?)
c:\qt\4.8.4\include\qtgui../../src/gui/painting/qpainterpath.h(405) : warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'elementCount'
I encountered this once before and was able to solve it by moving some Qt #include statements called before other class headers below them. I can't seem to figure out what in particular is causing it this time though. Any thoughts would be great!
Thanks!
I've seen this happen when you forget to close a class definition with a semicolon. If you look at the output from the compiler, and see which file was compiled right before this error started, you may have your answer. Look for syntax errors with missing a ; or an extra } or a missing } at the end of the previously compiled file.
It could also be from a .h file listed above your #include <QPainter> call that has the errors.
Hope that helps.
I'm working with RyGuyFalcore and figured out why this is happening in our code, and nobody else is seeing it. The issue is that our legacy code was redefining the elementCount macro. Therefore, if we included that portion of our legacy code before we included the Qt code, the wrong macro was getting used :( Figured I would post this here to avoid any wild goose chase that others may run into if they hit a similar bug.
I have the following code which compiles without errors under Linux and Mac OS X. I now want to compile the code with Windows, but I get a lot of errors in the following code segment:
...
enum Type
{
UPDATE = 0, DELETE = 1
};
...
The error messages are these:
1>Request.hpp(48) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '}' before '('
1>Request.hpp(48) : error C2059: syntax error : '<L_TYPE_raw>'
1>Request.hpp(49) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'
1>Request.hpp(49) : error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';'
What did I wrong, I am really confused, as this compiles without errors under Linux.
What can cause this errors?
The solution is quite easy, but one need to find out that DELETE is a Macro defined in the windows header.
I now added #undef DELETE and it works fine.
Type is an existing class. You need to change the name or specify that it's a literal.
You could try enum #Type to specify a literal, though you may need to prefix it with # elsewhere.
