    Not compiling typedef definition

    Hello,

    I´m migrating a VC++ 6.0 code to VS 2010. There is not compiling a file from Visual Studio itself: oaidl.h on the line

    Code:
    typedef CY CURRENCY;
    line 226

    it says:

    1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v7.0a\include\oaidl.h(226): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'constant'
    1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v7.0a\include\oaidl.h(226): error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'

    any clue?

    Yes, some clues
    Your error means that the type CY is not defined.
    It *should* be defined in <WTypes.h>, included in <winscard.h>, that is in turn included in <windows.h>.
    You could bypass any of these inclusions by using some preprocessor definitions.
    My bet is – you have defined WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN. Did I win?

    Question Re: Not compiling typedef definition

    Hello VladmirF, thank you for your post!

    No, I´ve not defined WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN. I defined CY on WTypes.h but it appeared another errors:

    this is very strange, a file of Visual Studio itself!

    What do you mean - "I defined"???
    The type CY *IS* defined in <WTypes.h>, on line # 1051!
    Line # 2 in that file has a comment.
    Did you type something in yourself?

    Yes, there really is.

    Yes /* this ALWAYS GENERATED file contains the definitions for the interfaces */

    Re: Not compiling typedef definition

    Why are you editing a delivered include file?

    You can't put the typedef before the definition of "CY".

    Question Re: Not compiling typedef definition

    Hello MRViggy, thank you for your post!

    I mean, this is a delivered file, why it has compilation errors?

    I took that to mean that you hand edited the file. The first three lines in your log lead me to believe that you had added the 'typedef' to the header file before the declaration of "CY".

    Question Re: Not compiling typedef definition

    Yes, I set but then pulled off.

    I have:

    Code:
    typedef CY *LPCY;
    on wtypes.h:1053

    and:

    Code:
    typedef CY CURRENCY;
    on oaidl.h:226

    The question is, why this latter is causing compilation errors?:

    oaidl.h(226): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'constant'
    oaidl.h(226): error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'

    Re: Not compiling typedef definition

    I made a simple application with the code:

    Code:
    #include "stdafx.h"

typedef CY; *LPCY;
typedef CY CURRENCY;


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	return 0;
}
    and it works!

    Arrow Re: Not compiling typedef definition

    Re: Not compiling typedef definition

    The error message looks like there might be some kind of pre-processor macro defined in one of your header files.

    No. That line really says nothing. And, you shouldn't be modifying SDK header files, unless you wrote them. It seems like you might have something in one of your header files, not Windows header files, that might be changing CURRENCY to something else. If you add the compiler option "/E" you can see what the preprocessor is doing. Search the output for "CURRENCY".

    As already stated, you are getting errors because you edited line 2 of WTypes.h, which is apparent from the compiler output:
    Code:
    1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v7.0a\include\wtypes.h(2): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'constant'
1>c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v7.0a\include\wtypes.h(1052): error C2371: 'CY' : redefinition; different basic types
1> c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v7.0a\include\wtypes.h(2) : see declaration of 'CY'
    Get a fresh copy of WTypes.h and try again with the unedited version.
