More than one definition for a function has been encountered in this module. Function 
overloading is illegal, for example:

int twice(int a)

{

  return a*2;

}

/* only one prototype & definition of rv can exist */

long twice(long a)

{

  return a*2;

}

You can’t initialize a typedef declaration, because it does not reserve any storage that 
can be initialized, for example:

/* oops -- uint is a type, not a variable */

typedef unsigned int uint = 99;

This identifier has already been defined in the same scope. It cannot be defined again, 
for example:

  int a;  /* a filescope variable called "a" */

  int a;  /* attempting to define another of the same name */

Note that variables with the same name, but defined with different scopes are legal, but 
not recommended.

There are too many initializers for this object. Check the number of initializers against 
the object definition (array or structure), for example:

/* three elements, but four initializers */

int ivals[3] = { 2, 4, 6, 8}; 

The initialization of this object is syntactically incorrect. Check for the correct placement 
and number of braces and commas, for example:

int iarray[10] = {{’a’, ’b’, ’c’};

/* oops -- one two many {s */

A switch operation must have an expression that is either an integral type or an enu-
merated value, e.g:

double d;

switch(d) {  /* oops -- this must be integral */

  case ’1.0’:

    d = 0;

}
