OK. Here is a condensed version.


$ g++ -c bug.c
bug.c: In function `void c_area(const xform_split&, const box&, const 
box&)':
bug.c:31: error: parse error before `,' token
$


Here's the code:


class ltransform {
        public:
        };

class   box {
        public:
        box insidebox() const;
        };

class parallelogram {
        public:
        parallelogram(const ltransform& b, const box& x);
        box insidebox() const;
        };

box inverse_image(const box& db1, const ltransform& fwd);




struct xform_split      {
        ltransform fwd;
        ltransform back;
        };



void c_area(const xform_split &xf, const box& databox0, const box& databox1)
{
 const box box0inOUTin(
        parallelogram(inverse(xf.back), databox0).insidebox()); //line31
 const box lc(inverse_image(databox1, xf.fwd));
}
