     Compiler error C2238
 
     unexpected token[s] preceding 'token'
 
     An incorrect token, or tokens, was found before the specified token.
 
     This error can be caused by an invalid name in a bit-field
     declaration.
 
     The following is an example of this error:
 
          struct bits
          {
             int field1 : 16;
             int 9      : 16;  // error, 9 is not a valid name
          };
