Dificulty ifintegrating an old C++ code into Visual C++
-
I wrote a C++ code for analyzing texts few years ago and it works perfectly. I am now trying to make it a windows-based application by integrating it into Visual C++ using visual studio. This has been an ache! I first got fatal error C1010: Unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive. It was not too difficult to correct this as there are many similar experiences recorded in various discussion groups on the Internet. However, when I added #include "stdafx.h" as directed in various responses to the c1010 error on the Internet, I got the following errors error C2095: syntax error: 'function-style cast' error C2226: syntax error: unexpected type 'T' error C2095: syntax error: ')' and a number of other similar errors. All these were generated by a code line 1 below: 1 template T max(T x, T,y) 2 { 3 return (x > y) ? x : y; 4 } any ideas on what could be wrong? taintransit

Please, when posting code (and even more when posting template code), replace all the < and > symbols with the formatting tags just aboce the emoticons (otherwise, they won't be visisble). To your question: didn't you forget a class keyword ?
template <class T> T max(T min, T max)

Unless > and < were eaten in your post, it looks like the syntax for the template is incorrect. It should be something closer to:
template< typename T >
T max( T x, T y )Peace!

Hi Cedric. You actually only need to replace the < symbol.

Oh well, then that makes things even more easier :) Thanks for the tip.

Look at this line closely.

For a hint, try renaming the macro.

Stop! No! Don't try to precompile your C-Headers. Instead, switch off precompiled headers, either for the whole project (in the project properties) or for single files (in the properties of the file)
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not money, I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

See DeleteFXPFilesYes you are right. The angle brackets were eaten up in the post. Cedric Momen pointed this out in his response. jhwurmbach suggested that I avoid pre compiling the headers. It worked! Thanks every body. taintransit
