SOLVED: compiler giving error within math.h`

[mzimmers]

Hi -

This just cropped up: I'm getting an error:

error: expected unqualified-id before string constant

from within an architecture-specific math.h file. Here's the offending code (it's the extern statement):

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif 

Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks.

Where's your closing brace?

The closing brace is way, way down the page, after a ton of other code. This is a standard distribution file from Apple, so I'm disinclined to think the problem is actually inside the file (unless my system drive corrupted somehow). I'm just wondering what might cause this to choke.

Thanks...

Have you declared any code or included any previous headers prior to including <math.h>?

[mzimmers]

Yes, I have. This is about six levels of includes deep, which is why I didn't try to post all the code.

[mzimmers]

I found the problem. Improper syntax in a class declaration caused this red herring. (I love how C/C++ gives you error way, way downstream from the original problem. Sigh...)
