[Dev-C++] Error Messages

[Roger F. <ra...@ha...>]

Aloha from Honolulu,
   The following was taken from Sams Teach Yourself C++  and refuses to 
compile.  The compiler reports the error at the line following 
"Dog::PlayDead" which is the closing brace and semi-colon for the "PDF 
DogFunctions...".  I have marked it with an exclamation point ! here.  
While I do need to know what the code's problem is, more vexing is that 
in the compiler report window under messages is listed "assuming" and on 
the next line "(a".  Nowhere have I been able to find a list of the 
various messages.  I looked under the Help window of the program 
(Version 4.9.8.0) and also on the Bloodshed site, but no luck there 
either.  I would suggest that a comprehensive list of error messages 
would benefit most everyone using these programs.
   A further note: earlier in the lesson was a line: enum BOOL {FALSE, 
TRUE};  that generated the folowing error messages: "conflicting" and 
then: (copied from the compiler report window)
227 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\windef.h   previous declaration as `typedef 
WINBOOL BOOL'
   My solution was to comment it out, but why did the message appear 
when windef.h was never included in the code?
Thanks in advance,
Mahalo,
Roger
