Why syntaxError 53?

[Sander Bouwhuis]

Why do I get a syntaxError on line 53? That is the line with :

enum TASKBAR_POS

This is the source code:

I do not get a syntaxError, neither with git head nor with 1.74. Which cppcheck version are you using?

[Sander Bouwhuis]

It says v1.74 in the about box. The executable is from 05-Jun-2016 18:33.

[Alexander Mai]

Can you reproduce using just your code example? (i.e. without _Export.h)?

[Sander Bouwhuis]

Then the error disappears.

This is _export.h:

[Daniel Marjamäki]

I can't reproduce the syntax error.

If you use -E cppcheck will print the preprocessor output. Can you try this:

cppcheck -E file-with-syntax-error.cpp > E.cpp
cppcheck E.cpp

Do you get syntax error for E.cpp also? does it make more sense in that?
