error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token

[sanctus]

Is there a typical mistake which generates the error:
" error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token"

because I fail to see why I get this problem and the code is too big to post it here. Also just saying that it depends on the case would be very helpful so I kinow it something specific about the changes I made...

Please post line generating error and a few previous lines.

Thanks very much for making me post it, because then I saw that the error was at line 783 and not at line 773... and there I had somefunction(x,)...i.e forgot a comma (is that english?).
But as I have posted it I have another question more about logic.

in the header file cmbcalc.h there is are the definitions:

bool infla;//true=inflation, false= seed
 int go(Cosmos* cosmos,string name,ControlPanel&,bool interactive=false,bool infla=true);
 

In the file cmbcalc.cc the function go is defined:

int CmbCalc::go(Cosmos* cosmos,string name,ControlPanel& control, bool interactive, bool infla) {
 
(...about 100 lines...)
 
if (control.cmb) {
(...)
 if (control.scalar && infla) {
      (...)
 // Loop over wavenumbers, calculating perturbations for each k-mode
      for (int k = 1; k <= nk; ++k) oneK(k,cosmos,control,infla);
    }
    infla=false;
 if (control.scalar && ! infla){
      // Loop over wavenumbers, calculating perturbations for each k-mode
      for (int k = 1; k <= nk; ++k) oneK(k,cosmos,control,infla);
 
  }
   if (! control.cmb) nk =0;  
  if (interactive) return nk;
  }
  return 0;
}
 

eventually where I'm not sure is when in another file it calls:

#include"cmbcalc.h"
void CmbMainWindow::spool() {
  try {
        int nk = cmbcalc->go(cosmos,"dudei",*control,true,true);
(...)
 

(The first true means interactive=true), the question is will the 2 loops (and initializations I didn't write) in go() be calculated or are they cut off because the condition interactive=true is satisfied and hence the function is stopped and returns just nk. I know thiis would be the case if the if(interactive) condition would come before the other three if-conditions. Thanks to anyone taking the time to understand my question!!!

Coding is tough. It is best not to strain you brain unless neccessary. If you are wondering, does this code execute or not do this:

1. Set up a test case.

2. Run the test case in the debugger with a breakpoint on the line you want to know about.

Good idea I will do that, thanks.
