[gcc] error init does not name a type[solved]

[kevstar31]

I am trying to compile a C++ program using the exact source code. But gcc will not let me. i just get error init does not name a type. A nice first look a C++

Code: Select all

// a small C++ program
#include <iostream>

init main()
{
	std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
	return 0;
}

Should be "int" (short for "integer").

Should be "int" (short for "integer").

The correct way to fix this code is:

Code: Select all

// a small C++ program
#include <iostream>

#define init int

init main()
{
   std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
   return 0;
}
