What Am I Not Seeing Here....

a simple skeleton of program, yet gives bizarre errors on compile:

void testcable(t_cablenode *p)
{
}


void setup()
{
}

void loop()
{
}



if change type of argument testcable other t_cablenode, well....

note error flags weird:

"pdbcabletester.ino:7:16: error: variable or field 'testcable' declared void"

variable or field???  why not recognize function?

this compiled mega, no problems memory.

regards,
ray l.

the ide adds prototype each function @ top of code before typedef. there workaround problem can't remember is!. try moving typedef first line above #define.
