C++ error : Expected an identifier

Question

i am trying to make an header but it gives me error :

#ifndef __OFFSETS__H_
#define __OFFSETS__H_

typedef unsigned long MAIN = 0x22EA120;//0x022BF0C0 ;
typedef unsigned long RECOILVT = 0x020A3ACC;//0x020FA644;
typedef unsigned long DEVIATIONVT = 0x020A3AC8;//0x020FA640;

#define OFFSET_CSW_GETHEAT          0x00000000 // Function - BF3_X_BASE = IDA 
#endif

the error is

error C2513: 'unsigned long' : no variable declared before '='

and i don't know why ? any idea ?

You're using a [reserved identifier](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/228783/what-are-the-rules-about-using-an-underscore-in-a-c-identifier). — chris, Aug 11 '13 at 07:16
You should probably take out yor fine introductory book and read about typedefs, macros, and variables. — molbdnilo, Aug 11 '13 at 07:53

These lines are incorrect

typedef unsigned long MAIN = 0x22EA120;//0x022BF0C0 ;
typedef unsigned long RECOILVT = 0x020A3ACC;//0x020FA644;
typedef unsigned long DEVIATIONVT = 0x020A3AC8;//0x020FA640;

You are defining a type. You cannot give a type a value.

Do one or the other!

EDIT

Either

a)

typedef unsigned long MAIN;
typedef unsigned long RECOILVT;
typedef unsigned long DEVIATIONVT;

or

b)

#define MAIN 0x22EA120
#define RECOILVT 0x020A3ACC
#define DEVIATIONVT 0x020A3AC8

or

c)

const int MAIN = 0x22EA120;//0x022BF0C0 ;
const int RECOILVT = 0x020A3ACC;//0x020FA644;
const int DEVIATIONVT = 0x020A3AC8;//0x020FA640;

Your choice

i changed it to DWORD and it gave me no error i think thats correct — user2594386, Aug 11 '13 at 08:03

I think you mean typedef unsigned long MAIN = 0x22EA120; to be const unsigned long MAIN = 0x22EA120;//0x022BF0C0 ; perhaps?

Yes, we'te both guessing. When I wrote my reply, you didn't have a "solution", so I thought I'd provide something that solves the problem - because I think that's what the OP wanted to do. – Mats Petersson Aug 11 '13 at 08:14
