If I copy and paste that line into a file and compile it, it compiles file. My guess is that you're missing a semicolon on an earlier line of the header, and the compiler is trying to parse 'int myArray[2]...' as part of an earlier declaration. > On 02/06/2011, at 1:12 AM, JAMES ROGERS wrote: >> If the above is entered into the .h file > > That's because a .h file is the HEADER. No. It's true that it should be in a .c file, but that is not the reason that James is having a problem. The compiler actually doesn't care whether code came from a header or not--- you shouldn't do it unless you know what you're doing, because it is confusing and awkward, but there are legitimate reasons to do so. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
