unexpected #elif

The #elif directive appears outside an #if, #ifdef, or #ifndef construct. Use #elif only within one of these constructs.

The following sample generates C1018:

// C1018.cpp  
#elif      // C1018  
#endif  
  
int main() {}  

Possible resolution:

// C1018b.cpp  
#if 1  
#elif  
#endif  
  
int main() {}
