about getting error as errorC129: missing ';' before '.'

Hi, I am using Keil uVision3 and have written code in C which includes three files as key.c,key.h and main.c. when I compile my code as error C129: missing ';' before '.' for the line exactly where I initialize my structure element to zero in key.c

My code is as follows:

File main.c


#include <REG51.H>
#include "key.c"

void main()
{
 key_task();

 while(1);
}

File key.h


#ifndef KEYPAD_H_INCLUDED
#define KEYPAD_H_INCLUDED

sbit ke1=P2^0;
sbit ke2=P2^1;
sbit ke3=P2^2;
sbit ke4=P2^3;


sbit ds0=P3^4;
sbit ds1=P3^5;
sbit ds2=P3^6;
sbit ds3=P3^7;


typedef struct
{
 unsigned char key_pres_cnt,key_rls_cnt,key_pres_flg,key_rls_flg,key_type,ket_status;
}key;

extern key k1,k2,k3,k4;


enum key_stat{no_key_pres,key_pres};


void key_task();



#endif /*KEYPAD_H_INCLUDED*/


File key.c


#include <REG51.H>
#include "key.h"


key k1,k2,k3,k4;


k1.key_pres_cnt=0;
k1.key_pres_flg=0;
k1.key_rls_cnt=0;
k1.key_rls_flg=0;



void key_task()
{
 //Logic for first key


 if(ke1==no_key_pres)
{
 if(k1.key_pres_cnt<10)

 k1.key_pres_cnt++;


 else
 {
  if(k1.key_pres_cnt)

  k1.key_pres_cnt--;

 }

 if(k1.key_pres_cnt>=10)
 {
  k1.key_pres_cnt=0;

  k1.key_pres_flg=1;
 }

 if(k1.key_pres_flg==1)

 ds0=0;


 if(ke1==key_pres)
 {
  if(k1.key_rls_cnt<10)

  k1.key_rls_cnt++;


  else
  {
   if(k1.key_rls_cnt)

   k1.key_rls_cnt--;

  }

  if(k1.key_rls_cnt>=10)
  {
   k1.key_rls_cnt=0;

   k1.key_rls_flg=1;

   k1.key_pres_flg=0;
  }

  if(k1.key_rls_flg==1)

  ds0=1;

 }
}
}



Please help me

Thanks in advance

  • How about picking up a good book about programming in C?

    The extension *.h means "header".

    So you should #include "key.h" and not #include "key.c".

    "key.c" on the other hand, should be added to your project, so the compiler will compile it into an object file, and so that the generated object file will be included when linking the project.

    The poor compiler now see the source lines in key.c but haven't seen the data type "key" that is in "key.h".
