error: expected unqualified-id before "char"

[tidusx90210]

Ok, so I have seen this error all over this forum and other forums and have tried and double checked all my code but I still get this error.

I have commented out the entire main() function with no difference to the compiler error, so I would assume that it is not the cause. Also, the main() function does not throw any compilation errors.

There are 3 files below: main.cpp, hash.h, and hash.cpp.

g++ -Wall -c main.cpp
main.cpp:9:1: error: unterminated comment
In file included from main.cpp:6:
hash.h:9: error: expected unqualified-id before char
