The #endif for this directive is missing

Currently creating a header file, and using the ifndef, define, endif, etc to create it.

However, every time I create it, Visual Studio Code is throwing errors.

#ifndef _roundemup_h_
#define _roundemup_h_

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

void file_name(std::ifstream &input) 
{
    std::string filename;
    while (true) 
    {  
        std::cout << "Please enter a file name: " << std::endl;
        getline(std::cin, filename);
        input.open(filename);
        if (input.is_open()) 
        {
            break;
        }
        std::cerr << "Unable to Process File." << std::endl;
    }
}

#endif

Current errors being show:

the #endif for this directive is missing[1,2]
unrecognized preprocessing directive[24,2]
expected a declaration[25,1]

I'm copying this from a header I've made from another program but have changed the header name and ifndef, so you would think there would be no issue?

I just got this error in visual studio. All I did to fix it is by adding the following line to the end of my header file. #endif // (ClassName_H)

It seems clear that the compiler is first complaining that the endif is somehow deficient. First step should be a hex dump of the file to see if there are any weird characters in there, or a missing newline.

If in Linux, you can use something like:

od -xcb myfile.h
