how to get out from the error : extern "C" {: Invalid argument

[Shivaji]

hi,

 I am compiling nrf52840 light switch sample code in an embedded studio, I am  getting the error as extern "C" {: Invalid argument, how to get out of this

[awneil]

Copy & paste the complete error message.

Also the piece of code to which it relates.

Tell us where that code came from - and have you modified it?

How to post source code:

it is nrf sdk mesh (light switch code), when I compile first time,some header files are missing, then I added those header files, next these errors -

extern "C" {: Invalid argument came

[awneil]

That's not the complete message - the complete message would include the file name and line number at which the problem was detected.

Shivaji said:

nrf sdk mesh

What version?

And what version of SDK?

[Shivaji]

it is nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v2.2.0_src, and nRF5_SDK_15.2.0_9412b96,actually it is not showing any error  at particular line, C file name is  ‘mesh_provisionee.c’,and showing error like 

extern "C" {: Invalid argument
