Question

I’m writing a C++ application in Eclipse, and when writing some code, I found several bugs at lines 18, 27, 41, and 81 on ch_type.cpp. Here is the current code for my project:

ch_type.h

class char_type {
    public:
        enum CHAR_TYPE {
            C_EOF,      // End of file character

            // End of simple types, more complex, derrived types follow
            C_HEX_DIGIT,    // Hexidecimal digit

            // Returns true if character is a given type
            int is(int ch, CHAR_TYPE kind);

            CHAR_TYPE type(int ch);
        }

What did I do wrong? How can I fix these bugs?

Answer 1

First, after a class definition you must insert ;

class char_type {
    ...
}; //HERE

Second, to use the macro EOF you must include <stdio.h>
