Error C2059 C2143

[_Flaviu]

In struggling to convert a piece of Linux code to Windows, I cannot rid of this errors:

typedef enum {
NULL_RID = 0, // <-- error C2059: syntax error : '('
WORLD_RID = 0,
LOCAL_RID = 0,

OWNER\_RID = 0,
GROUP\_RID = 1,

....
....
PREACCESS = 0x22a,
} SOME_IDE; // <-- error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'

seem to be something simple, but what ? Can you give me a little help ?

It looks to be syntactically correct. Maybe how it's used is incorrect, or some piece of code preceding it is incorrect.

"One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

"You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him." - James D. Miles

Probably there is a #define like, for instance

#define NULL_RID 0

In the included files (use Visual Studio 'search in files' editor command to find it). See example 2 in the following page Compiler Error C2059 | Microsoft Docs[^].

There is most likely something missing or incorrect, earlier in the code that you have not shown.
