Hi

I'm trying to compile an ADC Driver & come acrosss the following error.
I've no experience writing drivers before, and hence have no clue how
to fix it.
Hope someone out there has encountered the problem & suggesst a fix for
the same.

The Error is I get is :

qadc.c: At top level:
qadc.c:97: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__'
before 'qadc_read'
make: *** [qadc.o] Error 1
[root@localhost qadc]#
<snip>
/* Structure to declare our file access functions. */
struct file_operations qadc_fops =
{
open: qadc_open,
read: qadc_read,
write: qadc_write,
release: qadc_release
};

Well, the above isn't valid C so I'd start there.

It was some time back but now it's changed.

As of? AFAIR it isn't part of C89/90 and the more recent changes are
not generally available. It's certainly the line the compiler is
complaining about.

I did a little checking, the only reference Ive found to member
initialization in C uses the following syntax

struct point location = { .y = 13, .x = 10 };

No mention of the syntax above. Even that is only present in C99 and so
far from widely available.

Do you have a reference for the validity of the syntax in the original
post?

Robert
