This is the error I'm getting when trying to compile some code that uses taucs (not my code):
.../taucs/src/taucs.h:554: error: conflicting declaration ‘typedef struct taucs_ccs_matrix taucs_ccs_matrix’
.../taucs/src/taucs.h:554: error: ‘taucs_ccs_matrix’ has a previous declaration as ‘typedef struct taucs_ccs_matrix taucs_ccs_matrix’
wat? It is conflicting with itself?
After I pinched myself, I created a test header and put in a conflicting definition, just to make sure I was right about this:
In file testit.h:
#include "somethingelse.h"
typedef struct
{
int n;
} foobar;
In file somethingelse.h:
typedef struct
{
int n;
} foobar;
Sure enough, I get:
testit.h:6: error: conflicting declaration ‘typedef struct foobar foobar’
somethingelse.h:4: error: ‘foobar’ has a previous declaration as ‘typedef struct foobar foobar’
Or if I have this in testit.h:
typedef struct
{
int n;
} foobar;
typedef struct
{
int n;
} foobar;
testit.h:9: error: conflicting declaration ‘typedef struct foobar foobar’
testit.h:4: error: ‘foobar’ has a previous declaration as ‘typedef struct foobar foobar’
The line number is always different -- a declaration can't conflict with itself. I don't get it. Anyone ever seen this?
