Question

I have some problems with Eclipse, I have structure

struct Account{
    const char* strLastName;      //Client's last name
    const char* strFirstName;     //Client's first name
    int nID;                //Client's ID number
    int nLines;             //Number of lines related to account
    double lastBill;        //Client's last bill for all lines
    List linesDataBase;
};

And I can’t compile my code eclipse gives me an errors:

1. Syntax error before List
2. no semicolon at end of struct or union
3. ISO does not allow extra “;” outside a function

I have no idea how to change it, thanks in advance for any help

Answer 1

1. You need to show the definition of the type List, that’s not a C built-in type.
2. This might be a follow-on error because of 1.
3. This too could just be that the compiler becomes confused.

Also, avoid // comments in C, unless you’re sure that you’re compiling as C99.
