Title: Problem compiling code which does work in Borland 3.1
Post by: OmnificienT on November 12, 2009, 08:34:20 pm

Hello,

I can't seem to compile the following using code::blocks

Code

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    enum BOOL {true, false};
    enum BOOL bFlag;

    if (bFlag == true) printf("TRUE");
    return 0;
}

It will give me this output:

Code

C:\Documents and Settings\Pim\Mijn documenten\C\enumtest.c||In function `int main()':|
C:\Documents and Settings\Pim\Mijn documenten\C\enumtest.c|5|error: expected identifier before "true"|

||=== Build finished: 8 errors, 0 warnings ===|

However, in Borland 3.1 it works just fine. Does anyone know what is going on?

Thank you.

first of all, C or C++.

In case of C++, there you have bool, with values true/false :-)

So I assume you are doing C ?
Try to define your enum with a typedef, or try to use _Bool.
