Yes, the code you show here has correct syntax.
I expect that somewhere in your include files there is a 
#define small char.
Just replace small by GranoBlasticSmall, and look what is happening..
BTW all coding books suggest you better can use a more explicit name.
Because the kind of names is so general, that they fit for any
implementation,
there is a big change that the names will conflict with a future or existing
name.

Subject: [Dev-C++] What the heck?!


When trying to compile my code, I get a long list of errors, but they can
all be traced back to one single error:
"36 C:\CYGWIN\HOME\Granoblastic Man\Triad\ITEM.h
parse error before `char'"

34 enum size
35 {
36  small,
37  medium,
38  large,
39  giant
40 };

... What in the heck is it talking about? From what I recall, enums can have
any name assigned to the variables, right? So what's wrong with _this_
enum?!
