Question

See more:

I have a program with queues using linked lists. When i compile it, it has the following error:
expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token >>in error_line

MIDL

///USEFUL PART OF THE PROGRAM
//queue struct
typedef struct{
    int embros,piso,adeia;
    int pinakas[PLITHOS];
}Q;
int main(){ Q oura_apo; //define a new queue
dimiourgia(&oura_apo);//create the new queue
return 0; } //this function creates a new empty list
void dimiourgia(Q *oura){  //this is error_line
    oura->embros=0;
    oura->piso=0;
}

Or
If you could just tell me what does the error mean?

You did not show definition of "dimiourgia" and "PLITHOS" (OK, this one is integer constant), do you want to do some guesswork for you?

Yes he does:
void dimiourgia(Q *oura){ //this is error_line
oura->embros=0;
oura->piso=0;
}
But I think he is missing the prototype...

Opps! I see, thank you (was reading from top).

It compiles OK for me once I'd invented the stuff I assume you have above this: What do you have above this? What line is the compiler complaining about?

The error message should take you to the error line if double clicked.

A thought:

Have to got a prototype of dimiourgia defined above main?
If so, does it match the definition you have given here?
If not, put one between the definition of Q and the definition of main:

C++

void dimiourgia(Q *oura);

That may cure your problem.
