     Compiler error C2085
 
     'identifier' : not in formal-parameter list
 
     The identifier was declared in a function definition but not in
     the formal-parameter list.
 
     A common cause of this error is the omission of a semicolon at the
     end of a function prototype, as in the following:
 
          void func1( void )
          void main( void )
          {
          }
 
     With the semicolon missing, the compiler assumes that <func1> is a
     function definition, not a prototype, and that the function main
     is being defined within the function <func1>. It generates C2085
     on the identifier 'main'.
