unexpected #else

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

The following sample generates C1019:

// C1019.cpp  
#else   // C1019  
#endif  
  
int main() {}  

Possible resolution:

// C1019b.cpp  
#if 1  
#else  
#endif  
  
int main() {}
