Below is something that did happen to me and I couldn’t get what’s wrong. My coworker and me screwed our heads around this. It was in a cross-platform library using the cross-platform toolkit wxWidgets on Windows

#include <wx/wx.h> 

class Graph {
public:
  // ...
  // main1.cpp:4:10: error: expected identifier before '(' token
  double GetYValue(double x);
};

We were trying hard to find any weird glyph placed instead of an ASCII e or something, but didn’t find any such issue. What was going on!?

    WinGDI.h ln 640: #define GetYValue(cmyk) ((BYTE)((cmyk)>> 8))

    Gotta love windows.h

    This is why I recommend AGAINST using camel case for most things.
