list error??? But why??

[varak]

Hi guys

K, straight to business. I'm making a list of objects and when I try to compile it, I get an error. To make things simpler, I changed the object type to int and I get the same error. Here's the troublesome code snippet:

std::list<int> obj; //line 24
obj.push_back(5); //line 25

and the error is:

creatures.cpp(25) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '.'
creatures.cpp(25) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
creatures.cpp(25) : error C2371: 'obj' : redefinition; different basic types
creatures.cpp(24) : see declaration of 'obj'

Does anyone have a clue as to why I'm getting this error?

I've included <list> in the beginning and if I remove these 2 lines, the rest of the code compiles and works as expected.

Thanks

#include <list>

int main() {
    std::list<int> obj;
    obj.push_back(5);
}

Try compiling this, if doesn't work then your complier is broken, if does then probably there is another variable/class called obj already declared.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried that and it compiled fine. I also tried rename obj to objxx but I still get the same error. Maybe it's conflicting with something else in the code, but I'm not sure how that's possible:/

Post your code, if possible post a short compilable code which still causes the error.

Here's the code. If I remove those 2 lines it works as expected.

Thanks again!

It is obvious now that you have posted the code.
The problem is line 25 - this line is actual code.

You cannot have code statements like that outside of functions in no-mans land.

Oh my word!! I'm such a retard!

Thanks!!
