stdcall_api & troubles

You probably meant the other way around since
__stdcallis a reserved word, i.e. you want the identifierstdcall_apito be substituted with__stdcallduring the preprocessing phase, right? The errors you got are from the windows header files wherever__stdcallis substituted bystdcall_apiwhich is an unknown identifier. Do it like this:#define __stdcall stdcall_api
Forget that the above ever existed, it's embarrassing.

no Roger, you're going to replace every occurence of __stdcall with stdcall_api (which is not defined, so leading to errors). what the OP wants is the opposite, and remember #define works "the opposite" as typedef ;) so he wrote it well ; the error is elsewhere.

just a guess, in what order are you #including your headers, and where do you #define you stdcall_api ?

:omg: How embarrassing, it's inexcusable and I'm truly sorry. :-\ Just made myself look like a newbie. If I could I would vote my previous reply as "unhelpful".... *Geeee....*

Sorry thoru, disregard from my previous post, I must have been delirious when I wrote it.

Yeah, plus, i do not see why it would affect my other builds or this one, if i take the #define out. I think i have stumbled upon something very strange with this stdcall_api.
hum, also, why are you defining such stdcall_api macro ?

"High speed never compensates for wrong direction!" - unknownRoger, believe me or not, your post actually helped me, so it wasn't a complete loss of a post. First of all, thanks to Roger and toxxct for your posts. So this is my fix: I did a compare in the sdk between v5 and v6 in the include folder and looked at winnt.h Where the stdcall_api was mentioned in v6, i changed it back to v5 which strange enough was __stdcall. I have no clue as to how that was changed in there (i mean __stdcall being replaced bye stdcall_api) but this fixed it. They should have a #ifdef NEWBIE_IN_C {code for restricting access to this super sensitive keywords} #endif. -Thoru, a newbie in C++

I'm glad that it helped you in some strange way. However, right now I feel like I'm standing in the town square with my pants down... :-O Like Al Pacino says in the movie "Donnie Brasco": forget about it.....
