Recommendation

Use the Compile Errors dialog to quickly locate the offending C Code Symbol.

Currently there is only one reserved name that is checked for, and that is main (irrespective of case). Ensure that the function name in the C source file is not so named. If it is, change it accordingly, ensuring that the C Code Symbol points to the new function name.
