Question

I found this link, but it’s not my issue.

I’m getting the error at the declaration.

Here is my declaration:

typedef struct
{
    int buffer[10];
} Special_t;

void Special_Reset(Special_t &context);

This is in a .c file. I’m using Visual Studio 2010 to compile it for Windows. This is part of a cross-platform project. This exact code works fine using an embedded C compiler.

I’ve also tried building with the command line using this:

cl main.c /I. /TC

The /TC means “force the c-compiler” as opposed to the C++ compiler. It didn’t work either.

Answer 1

Using & to pass by reference is only valid in C++. Try passing by pointer or switching to a C++ compiler.
