     Compiler error C2143
 
     syntax error : missing 'token1' before 'token2'
 
     The compiler expected <token1> to appear before <token2>.
 
     This error can be caused by a missing closing brace (}), right
     parenthesis, or semicolon (;). The missing token may belong
     on the line above where the error was detected.
 
     This error can also be caused by an invalid tag in a class
     declaration.
 
     The following are examples of this error:
 
          class X
          {
             int member
          } x;               // error, missing ; on previous line
 
          class + {};        // error, + is invalid tag name
                                    -♦-
