C++ syntax Errors

[Alvin]

Hello all,

The code in question:

if(n < 0 || n > slider->maximum())   // <-- This line
{
     // report out-of-bounds error
}

The if-statement line is showing up as a syntax error (pink highlight) in 
KDevelop despite that the code compiles and is ok.

The error I get in the Errors tab:

Column  Problem
23           ')' expected found '->'
34           ';' expected found ')'

If I rearrange the inequality to be:

slider->maximum() < n

Then the error disappears.

BTW, 'slider' is a FLTK GUI widget.

I am using the following:

KDE 3.5.9 "release 51.2"
KDevelop 3.5.1

Thanks,

Alvin
