[AVR] Sim900 and ATMEGA8 Syntax error, unexpected REGDEF

[abdi110]

Hi,i am using ATmega8 for a project to send and receive sms by sim900.
i use codevision and RX interrupt to get the input characters using getchar function.

char getchar(void)
 {
char data;
while (rx_counter==0)  [COLOR="#FF0000"]wait_loop();[/COLOR]
data=rx_buffer[rx_rd_index++];
#if RX_BUFFER_SIZE != 256
if (rx_rd_index == RX_BUFFER_SIZE) rx_rd_index=0;
#endif
#asm("cli")
--rx_counter;
#asm("sei")
return data;
}
.

.
 void wait_loop() { 
  
       
       
          
                 
        if(PINB.1==0){ 
       
        if(PINB.0==0){                 
       
       delay_ms(60000);
       
        if(PINB.1==0){ 
                                      
        if(PINB.0==0){               
                       E1=1; 
                                               
                        if(a1<3) { 
                            a1++;  
                           
                            PORTC.3=0;
                            send(e1);                           
                            delay_ms(100);                            
                            PORTC.4=0;
                            delay_ms(2000);
                            PORTC.3=1;
                            PORTC.4=1; 
                            delay_ms(20000);  
                              
                                    };
                        };
                        };
                        };  
                        }
        else           {
                        if(E1==1)   {  
                            
                            E1=0;
                            a1=0;
                            send(e1ok); 
                            PORTC.3=0;
                            delay_ms(2000);
                            PORTC.3=1;            
                            delay_ms(20000);
                                    };

                        };  
        
                        }

after building the project i receive this error:Syntax error, unexpected REGDEF
in wait loop i do my normal program in order that microcontroller do its functions normally.
Could anyone please help why am i getting this error and how can i solve this problem?

You didn't tell for which source line the error message is issued. Why did you mark the wait_loop() call red? There will be hardly a REGDEF error related to the call. But a forward declaration is needed.

My problem has been sloved by changing the name of the variable that the error was referred to.
It is strange because the same code was working in one of my other programs and I just copied it from that program.any way thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately the error message has been never reported and the variable not mentioned in your initial post.
