I'm getting two "expected identifier" errors when I compile my code even-though it is written according to ANSI-C standards. I compiled using the gcc compiler with the flags -Wall -ansi -pedantic. I know the compiler is old but my university requires me to use it.
Copy paste of the errors:
mycomp.c:202:5: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘return’
return SUCCESS;
^
mycomp.c:203:1: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘}’ token
}
^
makefile:10: recipe for target 'mycomp.o' failed
I tried reviewing my code and can't find any syntax issue. I tried following the error guide lines, for an instance, add ‘(’ before ‘return’ or ‘(’ before ‘}’ token, but that doesn't change anything and I still get those errors.
The code is long and messy but I only get an error at the very end or it: The last return and last } digit.

Expected results: compilation without error since those are the only 2 errors I am getting. Actual results: Getting 2 errors.
Look carefully and indent your code properly.
In the part
} //----------------------- (1)
return SUCCESS; // -----------------------(2)
}
You have a curly brace mismatch., (1) indicates the closing brace for main() function, so the part marked as (2); your return SUCCESS; } resides in file scope, which is not allowed.
Correct your indentation and take care of the braces.
