Some strange errors from MSVC.net

[aerowyn]

I am very interested in using Ice, but I am having some problems when I tried to put some test Ice code into one of my applications, and I cant track down the problem.. perhaps one of you could help me out a bit...

Here are the errors MSVC.net gives me when I try to compile:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\cstdio(17) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before ':'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\cstdio(17) : error C2059: syntax error : ':'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\cstdio(17) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before ':'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\cstdio(17) : error C2059: syntax error : ':'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\cstdio(17) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' before ':'

It goes on like that to give me about 100 errors, all on the same syntax in both cstdio and cstdlib.


Im sure it is something simple I am over looking, but I cant find it... any help would be appreciated.

Oh yes,

And the code I am using is from the Hello demo, the demo compiles fine, but when I use some of the code in a seperate app it causes these errors.

From the error messages, it doesn't seem to be related to Ice, since it's an error an a header file supplied by Visual C++ .NET. Perhaps you have a typo in your code before a #include statement? This sometimes causes such problems.

What Im confused about is that the file, without the Ice code, compiles fine. The demo compiles fine. But when I put the demo code into the other app then it doesnt work. I included Ice/Ice.h and Hello.h and set the libs to Ice.lib and IceUtil.lib... Is there something I am overlooking?

[aerowyn]

Here is the Ice coe I am using:

#include <Ice/Ice.h>
#include "Hello.h"

using namespace std;

and the function:

void cg_IceTest()
{
Ice::PropertiesPtr properties = communicator->getProperties();
const char* proxyProperty = "Hello.Proxy";
string proxy = properties->getProperty(proxyProperty);
if(proxy.empty())
{
cerr << argv[0] << ": property `" << proxyProperty << "' not set" << endl;
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}

Ice::ObjectPrx base = communicator->stringToProxy(proxy);
HelloPrx twoway = HelloPrx::checkedCast(base->ice_twoway()->ice_timeout(-1)->ice_secure(false));
if(!twoway)
{
cerr << argv[0] << ": invalid proxy" << endl;
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
HelloPrx oneway = HelloPrx::uncheckedCast(twoway->ice_oneway());
HelloPrx batchOneway = HelloPrx::uncheckedCast(twoway->ice_batchOneway());
HelloPrx datagram = HelloPrx::uncheckedCast(twoway->ice_datagram());
HelloPrx batchDatagram = HelloPrx::uncheckedCast(twoway->ice_batchDatagram());

bool secure = false;
int timeout = -1;

twoway->sayHello();

catch(const Ice::Exception& ex)
{
cerr << ex << endl;
}

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}






If I comment out the function and the includes then I get this error:

cg_buttons.c(10) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'namespace'
cg_buttons.c(10) : error C2059: syntax error : ';'

And I have established that the error is from the includes, because just commenting out the function and the namespace definition gives me the same errors.

Sorry about the bump....

But it is a bit important that I get this answered soon.

[marc]

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have no clue what the problem could be.

A way to figure out such problem is to save the precompiled version of your translation unit into a file, and then look at it ... or post it here.
