═══ 1. Watcom C Diagnostic Messages ═══


The following is a list of all warning and error messages produced by the 
Watcom C compilers.  Diagnostic messages are issued during compilation and 
execution. 

The messages listed in the following sections contain references to %s, %d and 
%u.  They represent strings that are substituted by the Watcom C compilers to 
make the error message more exact.  %d and %u represent a string of digits; %s 
a string, usually a symbolic name. 

Consider the following program, named ERR.C, which contains errors. 

Example: 

   #include <stdio.h> 

   void main() 
    { 
     int i; 
     float i; 

     i = 383; 
     x = 13143.0; 
     printf( "Integer value is %d\n", i ); 
     printf( "Floating-point value is %f\n", x ); 
    } 

If we compile the above program, the following messages will appear on the 
screen. 


   err.c(6): Error! E1034: Symbol 'i' already defined 
   err.c(9): Error! E1011: Symbol 'x' has not been declared 
   err.c: 12 lines, included 191, 0 warnings, 2 errors 

The diagnostic messages consist of the following information: 

   1. the name of the file being compiled, 

   2. the line number of the line containing the error (in parentheses), 

   3. a message number, and 

   4. text explaining the nature of the error. 

 In the above example, the first error occurred on line 6 of the file ERR.C. 
 Error number 1034 (with the appropriate substitutions) was diagnosed.  The 
 second error occurred on line 9 of the file ERR.C.  Error number 1011 (with 
 the appropriate substitutions) was diagnosed. 

 The following sections contain a complete list of the messages.  Run-time 
 messages (messages displayed during execution) do not have message numbers 
 associated with them. 


═══ 1.1. W100 Parameter %d contains inconsistent levels of indirection ═══


The function is expecting something like char ** and it is being passed a char 
* for instance. 


═══ 1.2. W101 Non-portable pointer conversion ═══


This message is issued whenever you convert a non-zero constant to a pointer. 


═══ 1.3. W102 Type mismatch (warning) ═══


This message is issued for a function return value or an assignment where both 
types are pointers, but they are pointers to different kinds of objects. 


═══ 1.4. W103 Parameter count does not agree with previous definition (warning) ═══


You have either not enough parameters or too many parameters in a call to a 
function.  If the function is supposed to have a variable number of parameters, 
then you can ignore this warning, or you can change the function declaration 
and prototypes to use the ",..." to indicate that the function indeed takes a 
variable number of parameters. 


═══ 1.5. W104 Inconsistent levels of indirection ═══


This occurs in an assignment or return statement when one of the operands has 
more levels of indirection than the other operand.  For example, a char ** is 
being assigned to a char *. 

Solution:  Correct the levels of indirection or use a void *. 


═══ 1.6. W105 Assignment found in boolean expression ═══


An assignment of a constant has been detected in a boolean expression.  For 
example:  "if( var = 0 )".  It is most likely that you want to use "==" for 
testing for equality. 


═══ 1.7. W106 Constant out of range - truncated ═══


This message is issued if a constant cannot be represented in 32 bits or if a 
constant is outside the range of valid values that can be assigned to a 
variable. 


═══ 1.8. W107 Missing return value for function '%s' ═══


A function has been declared with a function return type, but no return 
statement was found in the function.  Either add a return statement or change 
the function return type to void. 


═══ 1.9. W108 Duplicate typedef already defined ═══


A duplicate typedef is not allowed in ANSI C.  This warning is issued when 
compiling with extensions enabled.  You should delete the duplicate typedef 
definition. 


═══ 1.10. W109 not used ═══


unused message 


═══ 1.11. W110 'fortran' pragma not defined ═══


You have used the fortran keyword in your program, but have not defined a 
#pragma for fortran. 


═══ 1.12. W111 Meaningless use of an expression ═══


The line contains an expression that does nothing useful.  In the example "i = 
(1,5);", the expression "1," is meaningless. 


═══ 1.13. W112 Pointer truncated ═══


A far pointer is being passed to a function that is expecting a near pointer, 
or a far pointer is being assigned to a near pointer. 


═══ 1.14. W113 Pointer type mismatch ═══


You have two pointers that either point to different objects, or the pointers 
are of different size, or they have different modifiers. 


═══ 1.15. W114 Missing semicolon ═══


You are missing the semicolon ";" on the field definition just before the right 
curly brace "}". 


═══ 1.16. W115 &array may not produce intended result ═══


The type of the expression "&array" is different from the type of the 
expression "array".  Suppose we have the declaration char buffer[80] Then the 
expression (&buffer + 3) will be evaluated as (buffer + 3 * sizeof(buffer)) 
which is (buffer + 3 * 80) and not (buffer + 3 * 1) which is what most people 
expect to happen.  The address of operator "&" is not required for getting the 
address of an array. 


═══ 1.17. W116 Attempt to return address of auto variable ═══


This warning usually indicates a serious programming error.  When a function 
exits, the storage allocated on the stack for auto variables is released.  This 
storage will be overwritten by further function calls and/or hardware interrupt 
service routines.  Therefore, the data pointed to by the return value may be 
destroyed before your program has a chance to reference it or make a copy of 
it. 


═══ 1.18. W117 '##' tokens did not generate a single token (rest discarded) ═══


When two tokens are pasted together using ##, they must form a string that can 
be parsed as a single token. 


═══ 1.19. W118 Label '%s' has been defined but not referenced ═══


You have defined a label that is not referenced in a goto statement.  It is 
possible that you are missing the case keyword when using an enumerated type 
name as a case in a switch statement.  If not, then the label can be deleted. 


═══ 1.20. W119 Address of static function '%s' has been taken ═══


This warning may indicate a potential problem when the program is overlayed. 


═══ 1.21. W120 lvalue cast is not standard C ═══


A cast operation does not yield an lvalue in ANSI standard C.  However, to 
provide compatibility with code written prior to the availability of ANSI 
standard C compilers, if an expression was an lvalue prior to the cast 
operation, and the cast operation does not cause any conversions, the compiler 
treats the result as an lvalue and issues this warning. 


═══ 1.22. W121 Text following pre-processor directives is not standard C ═══


Arbitrary text is not allowed following a pre-processor directive.  Only 
comments are allowed following a pre-processor directive. 


═══ 1.23. W122 Literal string too long for array - truncated ═══


The supplied literal string contains more characters than the specified 
dimension of the array.  Either shorten the literal string, or increase the 
dimension of the array to hold all of the characters from the literal string. 


═══ 1.24. W123 '//' style comment continues on next line ═══


The compiler has detected a line continuation during the processing of a C++ 
style comment ("//").  The warning can be removed by switching to a C style 
comment ("/**/").  If you require the comment to be terminated at the end of 
the line, make sure that the backslash character is not the last character in 
the line. 

Example: 

   #define XX 23 // comment start \ 
   comment \ 
   end 

   int x = XX; // comment start ...\ 
   comment end 


═══ 1.25. W124 Comparison result always %d ═══


The line contains a comparison that is alway true (1) or false (0).  For 
example comparing an unsigned expression to see if it is >= 0 or < 0 is 
redundant.  Check to see if the expression should be signed instead of 
unsigned. 


═══ 1.26. W125 Nested include depth of %d exceeded ═══


The number of nested include files has reached a preset limit, check for 
recursive include statements. 


═══ 1.27. W126 Constant must be zero for pointer compare ═══


A pointer is being compared using == or != to a non-zero constant. 


═══ 1.28. W127 trigraph found in string ═══


Trigraph expansion occurs inside a string literal.  This warning can be 
disabled via the command line or #pragma warning directive. 

Example: 

   // string expands to "(?]?????"! 
   char *e = "(???)???-????"; 
   // possible work-arounds 
   char *f = "(" "???" ")" "???" "-" "????"; 
   char *g = "(\?\?\?)\?\?\?-\?\?\?\?"; 


═══ 1.29. W128 %d padding byte(s) added ═══


The compiler has added slack bytes to align a member to the correct offset. 


═══ 1.30. W129 #endif matches #if in different source file '%s' ═══


This warning may indicate a #endif nesting problem since the traditional usage 
of #if directives is confined to the same source file.  This warning may often 
come before an error and it is hoped will provide information to solve a 
preprocessing directive problem. 


═══ 1.31. W200 '%s' has been referenced but never assigned a value ═══


You have used the variable in an expression without previously assigning a 
value to that variable. 


═══ 1.32. W201 Unreachable code ═══


The statement will never be executed, because there is no path through the 
program that causes control to reach this statement. 


═══ 1.33. W202 Symbol '%s' has been defined, but not referenced ═══


There are no references to the declared variable.  The declaration for the 
variable can be deleted. 

In some cases, there may be a valid reason for retaining the variable.  You can 
prevent the message from being issued through use of #pragma off(unreferenced). 


═══ 1.34. W203 Preprocessing symbol '%s' has not been declared ═══


The symbol has been used in a preprocessor expression.  The compiler assumes 
the symbol has a value of 0 and continues.  A #define may be required for the 
symbol, or you may have forgotten to include the file which contains a #define 
for the symbol. 


═══ 1.35. W300 Nested comment found in comment started on line %u ═══


While scanning a comment for its end, the compiler detected /* for the start of 
another comment.  Nested comments are not allowed in ANSI C.  You may be 
missing the */ for the previous comment. 


═══ 1.36. W301 No prototype found for '%s' ═══


A reference for a function appears in your program, but you do not have a 
prototype for that function defined. 


═══ 1.37. W302 Expression is only useful for its side effects ═══


You have an expression that would have generated the warning "Meaningless use 
of an expression", except that it also contains a side-effect, such as ++, --, 
or a function call. 


═══ 1.38. W303 Parameter '%s' has been defined, but not referenced ═══


There are no references to the declared parameter.  The declaration for the 
parameter can be deleted.  Since it is a parameter to a function, all calls to 
the function must also have the value for that parameter deleted. 

In some cases, there may be a valid reason for retaining the parameter.  You 
can prevent the message from being issued through use of #pragma 
off(unreferenced). 

This warning is initially disabled.  It must be specifically enabled with 
#pragma enable_message(303).  It can be disabled later by using #pragma 
disable_message(303). 


═══ 1.39. E1000 BREAK must appear in while, do, for or switch statement ═══


A break statement has been found in an illegal place in the program.  You may 
be missing an opening brace { for a while,  do,  for or switch statement. 


═══ 1.40. E1001 CASE must appear in switch statement ═══


A case label has been found that is not inside a switch statement. 


═══ 1.41. E1002 CONTINUE must appear in while, do or for statement ═══


The continue statement must be inside a while,  do or for statement.  You may 
have too many } between the while,  do or for statement and the continue 
statement. 


═══ 1.42. E1003 DEFAULT must appear in switch statement ═══


A default label has been found that is not inside a switch statement.  You may 
have too many } between the start of the switch and the default label. 


═══ 1.43. E1004 Misplaced '}' or missing earlier '{' ═══


An extra } has been found which cannot be matched up with an earlier {. 


═══ 1.44. E1005 Misplaced #elif directive ═══


The #elif directive must be inside an #if preprocessing group and before the 
#else directive if present. 


═══ 1.45. E1006 Misplaced #else directive ═══


The #else directive must be inside an #if preprocessing group and follow all 
#elif directives if present. 


═══ 1.46. E1007 Misplaced #endif directive ═══


A preprocessing directive has been found without a matching #if directive.  You 
either have an extra or you are missing an #if directive earlier in the file. 


═══ 1.47. E1008 Only 1 DEFAULT per switch allowed ═══


You cannot have more than one default label in a switch statement. 


═══ 1.48. E1009 Expecting '%s' but found '%s' ═══


A syntax error has been detected.  The tokens displayed in the message should 
help you to determine the problem. 


═══ 1.49. E1010 Type mismatch ═══


For pointer subtraction, both pointers must point to the same type.  For other 
operators, both expressions must be assignment compatible. 


═══ 1.50. E1011 Symbol '%s' has not been declared ═══


The compiler has found a symbol which has not been previously declared.  The 
symbol may be spelled differently than the declaration, or you may need to 
#include a header file that contains the declaration. 


═══ 1.51. E1012 Expression is not a function ═══


The compiler has found an expression that looks like a function call, but it is 
not defined as a function. 


═══ 1.52. E1013 Constant variable cannot be modified ═══


An expression or statement has been found which modifies a variable which has 
been declared with the const keyword. 


═══ 1.53. E1014 Left operand must be an 'lvalue' ═══


The operand on the left side of an "=" sign must be a variable or memory 
location which can have a value assigned to it. 


═══ 1.54. E1015 '%s' is already defined as a variable ═══


You are trying to declare a function with the same name as a previously 
declared variable. 


═══ 1.55. E1016 Expecting identifier ═══


The token following "->" and "." operators must be the name of an identifier 
which appears in the struct or union identified by the operand preceding the 
"->" and "." operators.

All dimensions of a multiple dimension array must be specified.  The only 
exception is the first dimension which can declared as "[]". 


═══ 1.61. E1022 Missing or misspelled data type near '%s' ═══


The compiler has found an identifier that is not a predefined type or the name 
of a "typedef".  Check the identifier for a spelling mistake. 


═══ 1.62. E1023 Storage class of parameter must be register or unspecified ═══


The only storage class allowed for a parameter declaration is register. 


═══ 1.63. E1024 Declared symbol '%s' is not in parameter list ═══


Make sure that all the identifiers in the parameter list match those provided 
in the declarations between the start of the function and the opening brace 
"{". 


═══ 1.64. E1025 Parameter '%s' already declared ═══


A declaration for the specified parameter has already been processed. 


═══ 1.65. E1026 Invalid declarator ═══


A syntax error has occurred while parsing a declaration.

The compiler has encountered the pattern "expression" "." "field_name" where 
the expression is not a struct or union type. 


═══ 1.72. E1033 Expression for '->' must be 'pointer to struct or union' ═══


The compiler has encountered the pattern "expression" "->" "field_name" where 
the expression is not a pointer to struct or union type. 


═══ 1.73. E1034 Symbol '%s' already defined ═══


The specified symbol has already been defined. 


═══ 1.74. E1035 static function '%s' has not been defined ═══


A prototype has been found for a static function, but a definition for the 
static function has not been found in the file. 


═══ 1.75. E1036 Right operand of '%s' is a pointer ═══


The right operand of "+=" and "-=" cannot be a pointer.  The right operand of

statement, or change the type of the function. 


═══ 1.91. E1052 Expression has void type ═══


You tried to use the value of a void expression inside another expression. 


═══ 1.92. E1053 Cannot take the address of a bit field ═══


The smallest addressable unit is a byte.  You cannot take the address of a bit 
field. 


═══ 1.93. E1054 Expression must be constant ═══

═══ 1.96. E1057 Modifiers disagree with previous definition of '%s' ═══


You have more than one definition or prototype for the variable or function 
which have different type modifiers. 


═══ 1.97. E1058 Cannot use typedef '%s' as a variable ═══


The name of a typedef has been found when an operand or operator is expected. 
If you are trying to use a type cast, make sure there are parentheses around 
the type, otherwise check for a spelling mistake. 


═══ 1.98. E1059 Invalid storage class for non-local variable ═══


A variable with module scope cannot be defined with the storage class of auto 
or register. 


═══ 1.99. E1060 Invalid type ═══


An invalid combination of the following keywords has been specified in a type 
declaration:  const,  volatile,  signed,  unsigned,  char,  int,  short,  long, 
float and double. 


═══ 1.100. E1061 Expecting data or function declaration, but found '%s' ═══


The compiler is expecting the start of a data or function declaration.  If you 
are only part way through a function, then you have too many closing braces 
"}". 


═══ 1.101. E1062 Inconsistent return type for function '%s' ═══


Two prototypes for the same function disagree. 


═══ 1.102. E1063 Missing operand ═══


An operand is required in the expression being parsed. 


═══ 1.103. E1064 Out of memory ═══


The compiler has run out of memory to store information about the file being 
compiled.  Try reducing the number of data declarations and or the size of the 
file being compiled.  Do not #include header files that are not required. 

For the 16-bit WATCOM C compiler, the "/d2" switch causes the compiler to use 
more memory.  Try compiling with the "/d1" switch instead. 


═══ 1.104. E1065 Invalid character constant ═══


This message is issued for an improperly formed character constant. 


═══ 1.105. E1066 Cannot perform operation with pointer to void ═══


You cannot use a "pointer to void" with the operators +, -, ++, --, += and -=. 


═══ 1.106. E1067 Cannot take address of variable with storage class 'register' ═══


If you want to take the address of a local variable, change the storage class 
from register to auto. 


═══ 1.107. E1068 Variable '%s' already initialized ═══


The specified variable has already been statically initialized. 


═══ 1.108. E1069 Ending \" missing for string literal ═══


The compiler did not find a second double quote to end the string literal. 


═══ 1.109. E1070 Data for aggregate type must be enclosed in curly braces ═══


When an array, struct or union is statically initialized, the data must be 
enclosed in curly braces {}. 


═══ 1.110. E1071 Type of parameter %d does not agree with previous definition ═══


The type of the specified parameter is incompatible with the prototype for that 
function.  The following example illustrates a problem that can arise when the 
sequence of declarations is in the wrong order. 

Example: 

   /* Uncommenting the following line will 
    eliminate the error */ 
   /* struct foo; */ 

   void fn1( struct foo * ); 

   struct foo { 
     int   a,b; 
   }; 

   void fn1( struct foo *bar ) 
   { 
     fn2( bar ); 
   } 

The problem can be corrected by reordering the sequence in which items are 
declared (by moving the description of the structure foo ahead of its first 
reference or by adding the indicated statement).  This will assure that the 
first instance of structure foo is defined at the proper outer scope. 


═══ 1.111. E1072 Storage class disagrees with previous definition of '%s' ═══


The previous definition of the specified variable has a storage class of 
static.  The current definition must have a storage class of static or extern. 


═══ 1.112. E1073 Invalid option '%s' ═══


The specified option is not recognized by the compiler. 


═══ 1.113. E1074 Invalid optimization option '%s' ═══


The specified option is an unrecognized optimization option. 


═══ 1.114. E1075 Invalid memory model '%s' ═══


Memory model option must be one of "ms", "mm", "mc", "ml", "mh" or "mf" which 
selects the Small, Medium, Compact, Large, Huge or Flat memory model. 


═══ 1.115. E1076 Missing semicolon at end of declaration ═══


You are missing a semicolon ";" on the declaration just before the left curly 
brace "{". 


═══ 1.116. E1077 Missing '}' ═══


The compiler detected end of file before finding a right curly brace "}" to end 
the current function. 


═══ 1.117. E1078 Invalid type for switch expression ═══


The type of a switch expression must be integral. 


═══ 1.118. E1079 Expression must be integral ═══


An integral expression is required. 


═══ 1.119. E1080 Expression must be arithmetic ═══


Both operands of the "*", "/" and "%" operators must be arithmetic.  The 
operand of the unary minus must also be arithmetic. 


═══ 1.120. E1081 Expression must be scalar type ═══


A scalar expression is required. 


═══ 1.121. E1082 Statement required after label ═══


The C language definition requires a statement following a label.  You can use 
a null statement which consists of just a semicolon (";"). 


═══ 1.122. E1083 Statement required after 'do' ═══


A statement is required between the do and while keywords. 


═══ 1.123. E1084 Statement required after 'case' ═══


The C language definition requires a statement following a case label.  You can 
use a null statement which consists of just a semicolon (";"). 


═══ 1.124. E1085 Statement required after 'default' ═══
