error : storage class specified for parameter

Question

I have a C code written. When I compile it on Linux then in the header file it says the following error: storage class specified for parameter i32 , i8 and so

Answer 1

I had similar issue, while error was missing the storage class name in static assignment. E.g.:

.h:
class MyClass {
   static const int something;
}

.cpp:
const int something = 1; // returns error
const int MyClass::something = 1; // OK

Answer 2

i had the same experience. The problem was at the function prototype declaration in the header file where a semi colon was missing at the end of function declaration.

The function was indicated in the compilation logs as "In function ... " just before the error snippet

Hope this helps!!

Answer 3

To add up on ;: another case can be a missing ) in a function pointer declaration:

extern void init_callbacks(void (*init)(), void (*end());

(missing closing parenthesis after *end).

Answer 4

If you are using vim editor, you can easily find missing semicolon by typing:

/[^;]\s*$

...and then jump up/down (with N/n), until problematic line is found.

Answer 5

You have some code somewhere, probably indicated in the full text of the error message, that does something like this:

void function(static int foo)

The static is not allowed there. It could also be another storage class, like register or extern.

Answer 6

Chances are you've forgotten a semicolon in a header file someplace. Make sure each line ends in ;
