Why do I get the error “error: unknown type name 'virtual'” when trying to compile this code?

Question

Code:

struct IRenderingEngine {
    virtual void Initialize(int width, int height) = 0;
    virtual void Render() const = 0;
    virtual void UpdateAnimation(flo

This is just a stupid guess since I've never tried compiling something with the word virtual in a C compiler... but is there any chance that you were trying to compile this C++ code as C code? That's the only reason I can think of that a compiler wouldn't understand the keyword virtual.
