Compiler Error C2062
Visual Studio 2005
Error Message
type 'type' unexpectedThe compiler did not expect a type name.
The following sample generates C2062:
// C2062.cpp
// compile with: /c
struct A { : int l; }; // C2062
struct B { private: int l; }; // OK
C2062 can also occur due to the way the compiler handles undefined types in a constructor's parameter list. If the compiler encounters an undefined (misspelled?) type, it assumes the constructor is an expression, and issues C2062. To resolve, only use defined types in a constructor parameter list. The following sample generates C2062:
// C2062_b.cpp
// compile with: /c
class DataSent {};
struct MyDataController {
MyDataController(int age, DataSet* j) {} // C2062
// try the following line instead
// MyDataController(int age, DataSent* j) {}
};
