c - enum type not available -

i'm having problems enum type. have next in header:

enum map_type_t{ map_type_port, map_type_vlan, map_type_l2mac, mac_type_vpws, mac_type_bfd, mac_type_vpls };

i included header in c file , that's eherre have prototype int store_to_flash (map_type_t map_type, void* pdata) now, reason, type map_type_t isn't beingness recognized, why not i'm wondering? i've tried typedef enum instead couldn't working either, looked like:

typedef enum { map_type_port, map_type_vlan, map_type_l2mac, mac_type_vpws, mac_type_bfd, mac_type_vpls }map_type_t;

what's problem, don't understand.

ps: diab compiler in c99 mode

interesting, if move

typedef enum map_type_e { map_type_port, map_type_vlan, map_type_l2mac, mac_type_vpws, mac_type_bfd, mac_type_vpls }map_type_t;

from header c file on top, after includes seems work fine... that's odd isn't it? thought why might be?

the declaration

enum map_type_t { /* ... */ };

creates type named enum map_type_t. identifier map_type_t tag, not type name.

you can either utilize typedef create alias type, or can refer name enum map_type_t. (the typedef in question should have worked; we'd have see more code know why didn't work you.)

similar rules apply struct , union type declarations.

(the rules different in c++.)
