I am trying to compile the following unit but am getting an E2257 , expected
error. In the past when I got this, it was because one of the class
declarations was missing a terminating ;  However I can't see what the
problem is here.

  I am compiling it alone by pressing ALT+<F9> and hopefully, this means
that only headerfiles called in the units own header are involved; however,
please correct me if I am wrong.


Code as follows (only a tiny unit) -  (the error occurs at the typedef
statement in the last method)  :-


//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#ifndef symbolsH
#define symbolsH
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <ostream>

class symboltable  {

private: std::map<std::string,int> symbols;

public:  bool addtosymbols(const std::string key, const int value);
         void printsymbols(std::ostream& liststream);
};

#endif


//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#pragma hdrstop

#include "symbols.h"
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma package(smart_init)

bool symboltable::addtosymbols(const std::string key, const int value)  {

    if (symbols.find(key) != symbols.end()) return false;
    else { symbols[key] = value; return true; }
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

void symboltable::printsymbols(std::ostream& liststream)   {

    typedef map<string,int>::const_iterator SI;

    for (SI s=symbols.begin(); s!=symbols.end(); ++s)  {
        liststream << s->first << oct << s->second;
    }
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can comment out all statements in the method implementations except for
the typedef and the error still occurs.

Thanks for looking at this

John
