Fatal error C1012: unmatched parenthesis : missing ')'

I've got compilation error of "

fatal error C1012: unmatched parenthesis : missing ')'

In line:

C++

#if	!defined(FALSE) || (FALSE !=0)

and

C++

#if	!defined(TRUE) || (TRUE!=1)

while using VC++2012 to compile the file beginning with:

C++

#ifndef __INCvxWorksh
#define __INCvxWorksh

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

#if	!defined(NULL)
#if defined __GNUG__
#define NULL (__null)
#else
#if !defined(__cplusplus) &amp;amp;&amp;amp; 0
#define NULL ((void*)0)
#else
#define NULL (0)
#endif
#endif
#endif

#if	!defined(EOF) || (EOF!=(-1))
#define EOF		(-1)
#endif

#if	!defined(FALSE) || (FALSE !=0)
#define FALSE		0
#endif

#if	!defined(TRUE) || (TRUE!=1)
#define TRUE		1
#end
.......

How come? The two have the same #if structure, but compilation passed before them.
The original codes come from application on VxWorks/Tornado.

What I have tried:

I googled it in using " fatal error C1012: unmatched parenthesis : missing ')'" but can't find satisfied answers or explanation.

Solution 1

Seems like you are missing an #endif in your code

C++

#if	!defined(FALSE) || (FALSE !=0)
#if	!defined(FALSE)
#define FALSE		0
#endif
#endif  // Added one #endif

also this might be a problem unless it was a miss in the copy&paste

C++

#if	!defined(TRUE) || (TRUE!=1)
#define TRUE		1
#endif   // Changed from #end to #endif

Sorry, I made a mistake in adding one more line of "#define FALSE 0". I removed it.
