Hi and welcome to the forums!

We're not geting this warning/error with Visual C++ 6.0 SP5. The first thing you should double check is that you indeed have the Service Pack 5 installed. To check this, you need to check the version of some DLLs, for example the version of the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\c1.dll DLL should be 12.0.8867.0 if you have the SP5 installed.

See also this Microsoft KB article for more information on how to figure out which service pack is installed.

Cheers,
Benoit.

thanks for your reply.
i've installed sp5 yesterday, and i checked the version of c1.dll after your mention,it is exactly 12.0.8867.0, so i guess it's not the point.

I'm afraid I don't know what this warning is about and why you're getting it It definitely compiles without warnings on our developpment machines. Which Windows operating system version do you use?

Also, we don't define any operator= for the IceStorm::Service class so I don't see how it could call itself. Perhaps you can try to define it (with an empty implementation for example) to see if the warning goes away. You could also try to compile Ice on another machine with Visual C++ 6 SP5 to see if you get the same warning.

Cheers,
Benoit.

ok, i will download the source code again and rebuild it.
by the way, i am using windows xp sp2 as the OS.
thank for your patience.

the problem is solved by installing sp6
