Hi all,

I have a project I am working on that will not compile in VM + VS2013 but compiles just fine in the Arduino IDE. I've stripped out everything extra leaving only the essentials and I am still getting all these crazy errors. I've tried creating a new clean solution and nothing seems to work. I've pasted the error and relevant code below. I am using Arduino IDE 1.6.10. I was using this code in another project, It was implemented in a class using .H and .CPP files which seems to keep the issue away?

Compiling 'EEPROMTest' for 'Arduino Pro or Pro Mini w/ ATmega328 (5V, 16 MHz)'
EEPROMTest.ino:5:19: error: 'stats' was not declared in this scope
:int magicFunction(stats temp)
EEPROMTest.ino:In function 'int magicFunction(stats)
EEPROMTest.ino:23:29: error: 'int magicFunction(stats)' redeclared as different kind of symbol
:int magicFunction(stats temp)
EEPROMTest.ino:note  previous declaration 'int magicFunction
:int magicFunction(stats temp)
Error compiling project sources 

Here is the code that generates this error. I have stripped out all the extra stuff to show how easily it errors for me. This code will compile and upload 100% find if I do it directly in the arduino IDE.....

union stats
{
	typedef struct boxData1
	{
		int var1;
	};
	boxData1 data;
	int array[(sizeof(boxData1) / 2)];
};
stats allData;


void setup()
{
	Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{

}

int magicFunction(stats temp)
{


} 

Thanks in advance!

Awesome, that fixed it. Out of curiosity, is there somewhere in the release docs or somewhere else that this issue was mentioned? Given that I have the latest arduino IDE installed I would think it would conform to that.

Thanks.
