'type' : no variable declared before '='
The type specifier appears in declaration with no variable identifier.
The following sample generates C2513:
// C2513.cppintmain() { int = 9; // C2513int i = 9; // OK }This error can also be generated as a result of a compiler conformance work done for Visual Studio .NET 2003: initialization of a typedef no longer allowed. The initialization of a typedef is not allowed by the standard and now generates a compiler error.
// C2513b.cpp// compile with: /ctypedefstructS { int m_i; } S = { 1 }; // C2513// try the following line instead// } S;An alternative would be to delete typedef to define a variable with aggregate initializer list, but this is not recommended because it will create a variable with the same name as the type and hide the type name.
