    Hello! I tried to compile a library with VC++ 2008. However I get a compiler error which I don't understand - which only occurs in .c-Files:

    struct MV_Vector_
    {
    enum ref_type { ref = 1 }; //C2208
    };

    The enum leads to the error C2208 ('ref_type' : no members defined using this type). What is wrong with the code? Any ideas how to work that around? Thank you in advance, Alex

      Try it :) :

      struct MV_Vector_{
      enum ref_type { ref = 1 } eref_member;
      };

      virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

        that's not standard C.You have to also declare a variable

          That's not C. :)
