How do I check syntax in Visual Studio 2008?
-
I used to be able to do this in my earlier version but can't work out how to do it now. It was a quick and useful way to check the syntax of an individual file was OK before compiling. Thanks Greg

Maybe I'm missing something, but the compiler is checking the syntax. :confused:

It's probably a third party macro or something similar. I remember having written a program that parses all .CPP and .H files in a folder and its sub-folders to check for syntax. It even did a little formatting.

So wouldn't that be a C/C++ compiler but without the resulting .obj file(s)?

Unless it's an esoteric add in, the only thing I can think of is that 2008 does not have a "compile this active document" button - so you're doing a compile all instead. I customised 2008 and added the toolbar button myself. I think ctrl-f7 does the same job. Iain.
I have now moved to Sweden for love (awwww).

and without a project and a solution. Let's call it
