title: Visual Studio 2010 Compiling C code
body: <p>I have the following code snippet.  This is a c file in visual studio 2010.  If i try to compile this with the line: int hello = 10; commented out it will compile just fine.  If I comment that line in it will not compile.  Am I missing something or should I not be using Visual Studio 2010 to compile C code.  If this is a Visual Studio problem can anyone recommend a easy to use IDE / Compiler that I can for C.</p>
  
  <p>Thank You</p>
  
  <pre><code>int* x = (int*) calloc(1, sizeof(int));
  
  *x = 5;
  
  //int hello = 10;
  
  printf("Hello World!  %i", *x);
  
  getchar();
  </code></pre>
