PRB: C1004: Unexpected EOF

Q39088



The information in this article applies to:


  • The C/C++ Compiler (CL.EXE), included with:
    • Microsoft C/C++ for MS-DOS, versions 5.1, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0ax, 7.0
    • Microsoft Visual C++, versions 1.0, 1.5, 1.51'1.52
    • Microsoft C for OS/2





SYMPTOMS

The following error is generated:

C1004: Unexpected end of file found



CAUSE

The above error may be caused by failing to end a line with a <CR>. On pure C-language statements, the compiler ignores white space; however, on statements with directives, a <CR> is needed.

This error occurs if the following include file is used in a program:

   #include <stdio.h><CR>
   #define YES 1<CR>
   #define NO  0 

Without the <CR> after the third line, error C1004 is produced by the compiler.



RESOLUTION

Make sure each line ends with a <CR>.

NOTE: This problem does not occur with any of the 32-bit compilers.
