I made a stupid mistake (forgot semicolon, too much Python lately), but got an interesting error message from gcc: "expected ',' or ';' before 'if'".
I know those error messages provide just an "upper bound" for possible source code, but I'd like to know if there is any construct in C such that "if" token really comes after ',' and not after ';'.
To fix this error, check the statement which should not be terminated and remove semicolons. To fix this error in this program, remove semicolon after the #define statement.
It means the syntax is invalid.
Error: Expected '}' before 'else' occurs, if closing scope curly brace of if statement is missing. How to fix? See the code, closing curly brace } is missing before else statement. To fix this error - close the if statement's scope properly.
It literally means what it's saying. You're missing an important parenthesis there, bud. Check your code before you hit the semicolon.
After isn't necessarily immediately after. The error message is more: 'I've just hit an 'if' construct. At this point I was expecting either an end to the (previous) statement, or the next item in the list. One of those things must be before this 'if', so I'm letting you know'

According to the C BNF grammar, an if
is always at the beginning of a statement. So no, it can't be preceded by a ,
