I am getting the following error on the following code: Note: including file: g:\src\shared\inc\citrix\icaid.h 114>g:\src\inc\engtypes.h(49): warning C4091: 'typedef ' : ignored on left of 'char' when no variable is declared [g:\src\pal\ctxdvc\msbuild.ctxdvc.proj] Adding to warn data CtxMSBuild.utility.DependencyData 114>g:\src\inc\engtypes.h(49): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'constant' [g:\src\pal\ctxdvc\msbuild.ctxdvc.proj] 114>g:\src\inc\engtypes.h(49): error C2059: syntax error : 'constant' [g:\src\pal\ctxdvc\msbuild.ctxdvc.proj]

Comment out the line with DOMAIN, and see if the error goes away. If not, then keep commenting out lines until you narrow it down.

The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

[User 10572834]

If I comment out that line, then the error does go away.

[Albert Holguin]

That specific error goes away or it compiles all the way through without errors? ...because if it compiles all the way without errors, then that is where the error is, if it just gives you a different error, then it may still be the original error, it may just be that the error message is misguiding you.

Make sure you're not conflicted in the namespace. All capital definitions are used for macros a lot, so you may be conflicting with a macro. Rename your type and length variable to something else and see if it clears the problem.

Thanks everyone for the help. I did turn out to be a macro conflict.

Don't forget to upvote... ;) I would say to also accept the answer but I'm even sure if you can accept a solution in the forums. :doh: In any case, glad you found your issue. I would also consider changing those from all caps since it is the common way of labeling macros, although since you're aware of the possible issue, you should know to hold that suspect in the future.
