Phenomena:
udf_names.c(7) : error C2059: syntax error : '}'
udf_names.c(8) : warning C4034: sizeof 0

Solution:
delete any whitespace character adjacent to the string "DEFINE_XXXX".
It should only be look like this:

DEFINE_XXX(p1,p2,p3)

and recompile.

Comment:
This error costs me 4 hours...

Actually I'd like to call it this error a bug which stems from the sentence below in the makefile:

@sed -n "s/^DEFINE_\([_A-Z]*\)( *\([_a-zA-Z0-9]*\).*)/\{\"\2\", (void (*)())\2, UDF_TYPE_\1\},/p" $(SOURCES) >> $@

I do not understand how it works. I think it is used to extract prototype information of the macro and write it to the udf_data[] array in udf_names.c file. However it cannot identify the MACRO with adjacent whitespace.

I hope someone good at makefile could make a patch on this. It must be very easy to professional coders.

Hey Cheng,

Really your information was very helpful. It worked out !!!

Thanks

Very good advice, thank you very much. I had written DEFINE_PROFILE (T, thread, position) instead DEFINE_PROFILE(T, thread, position)

Indeed a very good advice. Really appreciate such posts from people in such forums. Thank you.

If you want to allow any number of spaces between "DEFINE_XXX" and "(", then the "sed" command should be adapted to

sed -n "s/^DEFINE_\([_A-Z]*\) *( *\([_a-zA-Z0-9]*\).*)/\{\"\2\", (void (*)())\2, UDF_TYPE_\1\},/p"
