iOS "Expected identifier" error when using C code

[moonman239]

The following problem has been solved. Below the second code block is a quote from the post that helped me most.

I am using the PocketSphynx library. I chose not to install the Xcode binaries because it seems that to do so would require that I run autoconfig, which in turn would require that I download tools that I do not want to download.

I have placed a C method inside the implementation file of a subclass of NSObject, but when I call that function inside an Objective-C method, I get the error I have mentioned.

EDIT: Directly below this sentence is the line of code that is given me the error. This line is located in the relevant implementation block.

int pocketSphinxInitialized = [initializePocketSphinx()];

Directly below this sentence is the code that is located in the implementation file that the above line is located in.

#import "PocketSphinx.h"
#define MODELDIR "c:/sphinx/model"

int initializePocketSphinx()
{
    ps_decoder_t *ps;
    cmd_ln_t *config;
    
    config = cmd_ln_init(NULL, ps_args(), TRUE,
                         "-hmm", MODELDIR "/hmm/en_US/hub4wsj_sc_8k",
                         "-lm", MODELDIR "/lm/en/turtle.DMP",
                         "-dict", MODELDIR "/lm/en/turtle.dic",
                         NULL);
    if (config == NULL)
    {
        return 1;
    }
    else
    {
        return 0;
    }
}

@implementation PocketSphinx

+(PocketSphinx *)initialize
{
    PocketSphinx *pocketSphinx = [[PocketSphinx alloc] init];
    int pocketSphinxInitialized = [initializePocketSphinx()];
    return pocketSphinx;
}
@end

The post that helped me most:

You don't need the square brackets for a call to a C function.

Which line is giving you the error?

Also, I'd replace your if ... return 1 else return 0 with just return config == NULL.

The following line, which is located in the implementation block.

int pocketSphinxInitialized = [initializePocketSphinx()];

Also, thank you for the advice.

I just did what you suggested, then the error went away. Thank you!
