Problem with Adding a vector to my program
-
I have this silly program I am doing for class. I want to add a vector to it but I get the below error. I have added to my working program
#include using namespace std; vector v;and then get this error. With out the 3 lines my program works fine. I'm not even using the vector anyplace yet. --------------------Configuration: CIS279_8 - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling resources... D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE/eh.h(32) : error RC2188: #error : "eh.h is only for C++!" RC : fatal error RC1116 : RC terminating after preprocessor errors Error executing rc.exe. Creating browse info file... CIS279_8.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) Any Ideas?

Thanks, Jeff Patterson Programmers speak in Code. www.anti-dmca.orgWhat is the extension of your source file? This error is similar to when you name a file .C and the C++ mode will be turned off.

I was trying to include it in my created .h file. Why must I include this in a cpp file and declare it in a .h file? It is working now but this seems nonstandard. Am I missing something? Thanks Jeff Patterson Programmers speak in Code. http://www.anti-dmca.org[^]

Jeff Patterson wrote: It is working now but this seems nonstandard. Yes, it is nonstandard, but it's a very common feature of compilers. For easier use of old C code, they only enable C++ extensions in files with specific extensions, like cpp, cc, cxx, and so on. You can always force C++ compilation, even without these extensions.

You can use one of the Tc, /Tp, /TC, /TP to specify source file type or, in VC.NET (I don't recall where it is in VC 6.0), open the project's Property Pages, "C/C++", "Advanced", "Compile As" My latest article: SQL Server DO's and DONT's[^]

I'm afraid it's 'his holiness' that you're arguing with. using an entire namespace is included for a number of reasons, but we are strongly discouraged from using it, unless it is within a very limited scope, such as including all of one namespace within another. Do you own 'The C++ Programming Language' ? My copy is not here, but if you look up the chapter on namespaces, it's all in there.

}This will cause a warning (warning level 4 only I think) that says it's a constant expression, even if you do a

Why not while (whatever condition you end up breaking on), or a do...while if you want to make sure it runs once ? But you're right, it's generally good to treat warnings as errors, which is why using namespace... should not be a warning, there are places where it is useful. The whole basis of C++ is to provide the constructs that you may one day need, and not to confine you to what the impliments think is a good idea. That's one reason it is so powerful.

I agree with you. I've actually gone as far as to do the "unthinkable!": put
using namespace std;inside the precompiled header. :eek: Oh the horror! The result? Clean, Easy-to-read code! Unfortunately, like you say, a lot of people prefer to preach, "Don't you ever do this", instead of "Doing this is OK as long as you're aware of such and such potential problems". When it comes to the using directive, the only problem that can occur is name clashes, which the compiler is happy to tell you about, and can be corrected with the scope-resolution operator.
