>Everybody using GCC on a daily basis must have run into one of its hidden gems. Error messages that could be poetry, in a foreign language, written backwards. The message tells you pretty much – nothing. When you have found the problem and fixed you still wonder what GCC really meant and why it could not tell you something in English…<\/p>\n
One of my personal favourites was when I was using C and wrote:<\/p>\n
typedef struct { ... } Foo;<\/p>\n
void function()
{
struct Foo foo;<\/p>\n
...
}<\/tt><\/p>\n
Did you spot the mistake? GCC did – and told me this:<\/p>\n
storage size of 'foo' isn't known<\/tt><\/p>\n
After much<\/i> work I found that Foo wasn’t a struct, but a typedefed struct. Just skipping the word struct<\/tt> in the declaration of foo solved it.<\/p>\n
