Question

im using visual studio 2010 for C++ i implemented a code for a lexical analyzer for C programming but i got an error says “missing type specifier – int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int” is there something wrong with my code? or i just have to change the compiler?
here is the code

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <ctype.h>

    //Global variables
     int charClass;
    char lexeme [100];
    char nextChar;
    int lexLen;
    int token;
    int nextToken;
    FILE *in_fp, *fopen();

   // Function Declarations
   void addChar();
   void getChar();
   void getNonBlank();
   int lex();

   //Character classes
   #define LETTER 0
   #define DIGIT 1
   #define UNKNOWN 99

   //Token codes

   //Main
       main(){
        if ((in_fp = fopen("front.in", "r")) == NULL)
            printf("ERROR - cannot open front.in \n");
        else{
            getChar();
            do {
                lex();
            }while (nextToken != EOF);
          }
       }

       // lookUp

       int lookup(char ch){
       switch(ch){
       case '(':
           addChar();

       case ')':

           nextToken = RIGHT_PAREN;

       case '+':

               lexeme[lexLen++] = nextChar;
               lexeme[lexLen] = 0;
           }
           else
               printf("Error - lexeme is too long \n");
       }

       //getChar
       void getChar(){

                   charClass = LETTER;
               else if (isdigit(nextChar))
                   charClass = DIGIT;
               else charClass = UNKNOWN;
           }
           else
               charClass = EOF;
       }
       // getNonBlank
       void getNonBlank(){
           while (isspace(nextChar))
               getChar();
       }
       //lex
       int lex(){
           lexLen = 0;
           getNonBlank();
           switch (charClass){
           case LETTER:
                   addChar();
                   getChar();
                   while (charClass == LETTER || charClass ==                    DIGIT){
                       addChar();
                       getChar();
                   }
                   nextToken = IDENT;
                   break;
                   // parse ints lits
               case DIGIT:
                   addChar();
                   getChar();
                   while (charClass == DIGIT){
                       addChar();
                       getChar();
                   }
                   nextToken = INT_LIT;
                   break;

                //pares and ops
               case UNKNOWN:
                   lookup(nextChar);
                   getChar();
                   break;

                   //EOF
               case EOF:
                   nextToken = EOF;
                   lexeme[0] = 'E';
                   lexeme[1] = 'O';
                   lexeme[2] = 'F';
                   lexeme[3] = 0;
                   break;
           }
        // end of switch
           printf("Next toke is: %d, next lexeme is %s\n",nextToken, lexeme);
           return nextToken;
       }

so for this example ( sum + 47 ) / total
this is suppose to be the output

Next token is: 25 Next lexeme is (
Next token is: 11 Next lexeme is sum
Next token is: 21 Next lexeme is +
Next token is: 10 Next lexeme is 47
Next token is: 26 Next lexeme is )
Next token is: 24 Next lexeme is /
Next token is: 11 Next lexeme is total
Next token is: -1 Next lexeme is EOF

Answer 1

   main(){
    if ((in_fp = fopen("front.in", "r")) == NULL)
        printf("ERROR - cannot open front.in \n");
    else{
        getChar();
        do {
            lex();
        }while (nextToken != EOF);
      }
   }

should be changed like this :

 //  return type of main should be explicitly int.
   int  main(){
    if ((in_fp = fopen("front.in", "r")) == NULL)
        printf("ERROR - cannot open front.in \n");
    else{
        getChar();
        do {
            lex();
        }while (nextToken != EOF);
      }
   }
