I am using gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) to compile a program that I’m writing, but it seems to vomit whenever it sees a // comment in my code, saying:
interface.c :##: error: expected expression before â/â token<
Does the gcc compile mode I’m using forbid // comments?
$ gcc -g -ansi -pedantic interface.c structs.h -c -I. -I/home/me/project/h
Why?
//comments are not allowed in old (pre 99) C versions, use/**/(or remove the-ansi, that is a synonym for the C89 standard)
