iphone - Objective-C error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'class'

Question

I'm getting this from an iPhone app I'm working on. Not sure how to interpret the error... It's thrown at a few place in my code. I can't see any pattern of occurrence.

Is this a generic error? What's the meaning of it?

Answer 1

The error you posted indicates that you have a syntax error around your use of class. Manually inspect the first location the error is reported, and you might notice the cause.

To help you debug further, please include the surrounding code so we can better help you.

Most common causes:

1. Missed @ in @class for forward class declaration in headers
2. Missed ; after the declaration of an enum, a structure, or a typedef
3. Copied C++ code, where class is used to declare a structure, but code is invalid in Objective-C
