You can't repeat typedefs, and you | can't instantiate a forward declaration of an enum. I see the original poster was mentioning C. However, I just wanted to add that in C++, it is permitted to repeat a typedef declaration provided it binds the same tokens. The enum forward declaration restrictions are same in both languages. -- Gaby
