Syntax error: '{' missing before __fastcall. - oh9od - Sep 16, 2020
While working on a project, I encountered this error (Syntax error: '{' missing before __fastcall.) on the following line of code:
Code
#ifndef _MODULES_H_
#define _MODULES_H_
#include "definizioni.h"
#include "utils.h"
PPEB __fastcall ModGetPEB(); // <- the faulty line of code
long long __fastcall ModGetBase(wchar_t mName);
wchar_t __fastcall ModGetPath(wchar_t mName);
long long __fastcall ModGetFunc(long long ModBase, BYTE FuncName);
#endif // !_MODULES_H_The first thing I tried to do was checking if there was a missing ';' in utils.h or some sort of syntax error that caused the problem, no luck: everything seems ok.
Then I checked if there were syntax errors somewhere else in the code when ModGetPEB() gets called: again none.
Unless someone has a better idea, I might go line per line in the code to find the syntax error, I don't want to because the program is pretty big and this is like finding a needle in a soccer pitch.

Well I'd need to know what PPEB is and how its defined.

Code
typedef struct _PEB
{
BYTE InheritedAddrSpace;
BYTE ReadImgFileExecOptions;
BYTE Debugged;
BYTE SpareBool;
long long Mutant;
long long ImgBaseAddress;
PPEB_LDR_DATA LDR;
} PEB, *PPEB;this is inside utils.h

I know the GCC's C compiler had the option to produce a file with all the header files expanded in place..
Maybe you could explore that option with your compiler. Note: I can't remember the flag for that option.

Sure I will try, many thanks! ^^

Gcc uses __attribute__((fastcall)) to define fastcalll calling convention.
Try #define __attribute__((fastcall)) __fastcall
