Simple syntax error c2059 & c3805 combined for one line of code in "binary_log_types.h" -need some guide

Question

Dear VS expert out there:

Simple syntax error c2059 & c3805 on one source code line from the library is causing so much confusion.

Researched through google and Window Edge, could not find any hint to resolve the problem I faced as below:

Thanking you in advance,

CBO

typedef enum enum_field_types {

                                        ….

                                        ….

                                 56     MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME, MYSQL_TYPE_YEAR,

                                 57     MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDATE, MYSQL_TYPE_VARCHAR,

                                 58     MYSQL_TYPE_BIT=  ,  

                                 59      MYSQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP=       ,

                                 60     MYSQL_TYPE_DATETIME=       ,

                                 61     MYSQL_TYPE_TIME=       ,

                                 62    

                                 63      MYSQL_TYPE_JSON=         ,

                                     ….

                                     ….

                           } enum_field_types;

 

1>c:\users\chanb\documents\programming\common code\binary_log_types.h(58): error C2059: syntax error: ','

1>c:\users\chanb\documents\programming\common code\binary_log_types.h(58): error C3805: ',': unexpected token, expected either '}' or a ','

Hi poosung,

According to your description, this issue may be caused by your code.  Please refer to my following code:

#define MON  1
#define TUE   2
#define WED  3
#define THU   4
#define FRI    5
#define SAT   6
#define SUN   7
typedef enum workday
{
       saturday,
       sunday = 0,
       monday,
       tuesday,
       wednesday,
       thursday,
       friday
} workday;

Please make sure all letters have been typed in English :)

And whether your issue is the same as your previous thread with the following link ? I suggest that you type the code manually.

Answer 2

Hi, Oscar,

What a clear example you showed me.   I did get the hint, and so, I put "0" without quote mark

and a comma following.  e.g. MYSQL_TYPE_JSON= 0,
       MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDECIMAL= 0,
       MYSQL_TYPE_ENUM= 0,
       MYSQL_TYPE_SET= 0,

I think compiler took it ok.   But I am not sure this header from MYSQL will work with this

correction.   Anyway, great guide for which I thank you very much.

Hi poosung,

This forum is talking about some questions about how to use Visual Studio.

>>But I am not sure this header from MYSQL will work with this correction.

I suggest you could post this question to the C++ forum:

Visual Studio Languages, Windows Desktop Development  >  Visual C++

I think this forum will give you a professional answer :)

Sincerely,

Oscar
