(224) illegal "#" directive

(Parser)

An illegal # preprocessor has been detected. Likely a directive has been misspelled in
your code somewhere.

(225) missing character in character constant

(Parser)

The character inside the single quotes is missing, for example:

char c = "; /* the character value of what? */

(226) char const too long

(Parser)

A character constant enclosed in single quotes may not contain more than one charac-
ter, for example:

c = ’12’; /* oops -- only one character may be specified */

(227) "." expected after ".."

(Parser)

The only context in which two successive dots may appear is as part of the ellipsis sym-
bol, which must have 3 dots. (An ellipsis is used in function prototypes to indicate a vari-
able number of parameters.)

Either .. was meant to be an ellipsis symbol which would require you to add an extra
dot, or it was meant to be a structure member operator which would require you remove
one dot.

(228) illegal character (*)

(Parser)

This character is illegal in the C code. Valid characters are the letters, digits and those
comprising the acceptable operators, for example:

c = a; /* oops -- did you mean c = ’a’; ? */

(229) unknown qualifier "*" given to -A

(Parser)
