SYMPTOMS
When you initialize an array of a user-defined type using an include file (see the example in this article), the compiler generates this error:
RESOLUTION
There are two workarounds as described below.
- Add a comma after the last element in the include file. -or-
- Compile the .cpp file with the /P compiler option. This generates a file with a .i extension using the same base name as the .cpp file. Rename the file so that it has a .cpp extension, and compile it, or simply compile the .i file using the /Tp compiler option.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual C++ version 5.0.
