Compiler Error

[elShazo]

I am getting this error on compile "expected unqualified-id at end of
input".

Here is the block of code that generates the error:

/* Proxy unmountSource I/O */
/* Method unmountSource */
void unmountSource(s tring theSource)
{
string source = theSource;
string unmount = "unmount ";
string unmountFull = unmount + source;
string rmdir = "rmdir ";
string rmdirFull = rmdir + source;
system(unmountF ull.c_str());
system(rmdirFul l.c_str());
}
/* EMethod */
/* EProxy */

Compiler points to the line that has the end curly brace. Any ideas or
at least what the error means?

There's nothing wrong with the above, assuming string is an alias for
std::string, so the error is somewhere else.

Post a minimal compilable example that demonstrates your problem.

I can see two reasons why it won't compile:

int main()
{

string destination;
string source = "/mnt/TrafficKing";

cout<<"Preparin g to install Train TrafficKing..." << "/n" << "You must
have root privileges to install this game." << "/n" << "If you do NOT
have root privileges, please contact your System Administrator." << "/
n" ;

mountSource(sou rce);
destination = getDestination( );
createDest(dest ination);
installGame(sou rce, destination);
unmountSource(s ource);
cout << "Thank you for installing Train TrafficKing";
}

Missing return.

/* End Installer */
}

Missing semicolon.

What follows is not a class:

class A
{
}

But this is:

class A
{
};

You should
#include <string>
if you plan to use std::string and pass it by reference to functions
or you'll end up invoking std::string copy ctor unneccessarily. Not to
mention that you'ld be modifying a local only.

void foo( std::string& r_s ) // or const std::string&
{
// do stuff with r_s
}

All of the above is basic, fundamental, unavoidable, required
knowledge.
