No - they are part of a specific package. Nothing standard about them as
far as the C language goes.

I do wonder whether you'd get better help about developing with this
package by posting to a forum specifically for it, rather than a general
C newsgroup. Looking here <http://www.libspf2.org/support.html> suggests
some possibilities.

But that is not a group of programmers. I simply wanted to know what
this error means
error: expected ')' before '*' token

Definetly it loooks like a syntax error , but there is absolutely no
error on that line
If I comment out the entire function and its declaration , then I dont
get this error. I just declare this function , without even defining
the code for it and gcc gives me this stupid error

Find out the definition for all the SPF_*_types in the function declaration
and definition. What do they resolve into? Do you compile in ISO C
conforming mode or in someother mode? Is the code GNU C specific? If not,
try compiling with another compiler like Intel' or MSVC.

It's highly unlikely to a gcc bug. There must be some syntax error in your
code and header files. Try to compile a minimal program that still exhibits
the error. You can do that by leaving out stuff that are not absolutely
necessary for successful compilation or for exhibiting the error.
