I am using Visual Studio 16.5.3 with visual micro plugin (Release 20.03.21.2/3) to compile some ESP32 board sketches. I get a tedious error from the IDE, even tho the code compiles and runs fine. The relevant lines are:
std::ostringstream ss;
ss << "LIGHT: ";
I included <iostream>, <string>, <sstream> and <ostream>
The IDE is complaining about missing << operator, with operands of type std::stringstream and const char[8]. The actual message is (sorry for italian, I guess it's clear anyway):
"C++ nessun operatore corrispondente agli operandi i tipi di operando sono: std::ostringstream << const char [8]"
That would sound something like "no operator << for the operands..."
Visual Studio (Intellisense) no operator std::ostringstream <<
First, you should put the below code under function or main body and then import several head file as you showed above.
Like this:
So if you still face the issue and build the project without any errors, I think it is Intellisense's problem. And you can see that it works well in my side. And you can try this：
Suggestion:
1) close VS Instance, delete .vs hidden folder, bin, obj folder and then reopen your project again.
2) disable any unrelated third-party extensions under Extensions-->Manage Extensions or use devenv /safemode to start VS to test whether it is caused by other extensions.
In addition, if this issue still persists, please share the sample code with us so that we can troubleshoot it as soon as possible.
Any feedback will be expected.

I saw a couple of questions relevant to this topic, but I didn't found the easy and common way to do this.
My question is: How can I have $(projectDir) or another Macro as a string or char* in my C++ code?
Thanks
If your compiler supports raw strings then you can add MYMACRO=R"($(ProjectDir))"; to preprocessor definitions (screenshot from Visual Studio 2013):
Then you can add the following to your code:
#pragma message("MYMACRO == " MYMACRO) // will print project dir during compilation
std::cout << MYMACRO << std::endl; //will print project dir at run time
MYMACRO=R"($(ProjectDir))"; prefectly works for me.
I was in need of this for a long time and this came as a perfect solution.
My test cases took input file path relative to $(ProjectDir) while running the exe tried to locate the input file path relative to the bin folder. As a result, I could have either the VS project happy or the exe, but not both.
This solution worked perfectly to make both of them happy.
Thanks #mvidelgauz for the valuable info.
I was using Visual C++ 6.0 just now, and I keep getting this error:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'streambuf': No such file or directory
My code is just a simple hello world program.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
cout<<"Hello World.";
return 1;
}
Then I went and checked my INCLUDE folder and found a file called STREAMBF, but the compiler was looking for STREAMBUF. Notice that the file that is present is missing the U, between the B and the F. This was from a good copy of VC++6.0, directly from the actual CD, not a pirated copy. So there should be all the files needed. But it appears that a file is missing! Is this MS being stupid again, and yet making another big mistake, and forgetting to include an important file on their CDs? I'd hate to think that every single CD for VC++6.0 that was pressed that came out of MS factories had this problem. And I know that it is a missing file, not just a misnamed file, as renaming STREAMBF to STREAMBUF just led to more errors.
Anybody know where I can find a copy of the file STREAMBUF? Or am I just overlooking something here? Is this exact error a known problem with running old copies of VC++ on modern OS's like Windows 7? Is it possible that the only reason that it's looking for STREAMBUF is that this is a newer file associated with Win7, and that if it was running in a different environment (an older OS), it would actually be looking for the correct file, STREAMBF? Can somebody help me here?
Your installation is either broken, deprecated or interpretes your code in wrong way.
You should only use older compiles if you are trying to build project developed entirely for this version.
Try to compile same code with new compiler, if you want to use VS then you should look for Visual Studio Express 2013.
Your code does not have any errors.
Modify your program to, you should be able to see it okay.
#include <iostream.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello World.";
return 1;
}
However,
your compiler is pretty old. You need to an upgrade.
There are C++ compilers for Windows from Microsoft Express Visual Studios Link and Info VS2013 to
some other non-Microsoft like GCC for Windows.
If you don't have installation access there are some portable c++ compilers.
Finally there are some online compilers for simple test. web based online compilers.
For my win 10 installation of VC 6.0, I had the same problem ... fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'streambuf': No such file or directory
Replacing with <iostream.h> does not solve the problem.
I have checked the header file installation folder (Program files\VS98\VC98\INCLUDE). For some (unknown) reason, some file names have been changed during installation. Restoring the original name has solved the problem, in my case, in example:
Turn STREAMBF into STREAMBUF, STDXCEPT into STDEXCEPT, XCEPTION into EXCEPTION, FCTIONAL into FUNCTIONAL.
Notice: other header file names might be wrong. I have listed above the file names wrong in my installation.
I hope this may help.
I got an issue after installing Eclipse Kepler on my Windows 7 32bit machine. I installed the CDT and the MinGW-compiler. I configured the installation by adding MinGW to the PATH and tested my configuration with a "Hello world"-program, which worked.
The strange thing is, that if I instantiate an object, nothing is outputted. It doesn't matter if it's a std::string or a custom made class. If I instantiate it, nothing is outputted, even if it should be outputted before the instantiation. The exact same code works fine, if I compile it with cygwin gcc from command line. If I change the toolchain to cygwin gcc nothing changes (I've rebuild the program with "build all").
There is no error displayed and no problem listed.
Here's the minimal working example:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class SayWorld{
public:
SayWorld(){
cout << "World!" << endl;
}
};
int main() {
//Only gets outputted, if the lines, that don't work are commented out:
cout << "Hello ";
// Works:
cout << "World!" << endl;
// Doesn't work:
// SayWorld sw;
// Also doesn't work:
// string str("World!");
// cout << str << endl;
return 0;
}
Edit 2:
I narrowed the error to MinGW, as this picture of a Cygwin-Bash-Terminal demonstrates. (The file was not changed beetween the to g++ calls and contains the example above)
Edit 1 (Legacy)
Toolchain-picture:
-picture removed- (don't think it was necessary)
After reinstalling eclipse and MinGW again, step-by-step following this video tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77xZOT3xer4
and having the same problem afterwards, I stumbled uppon this post in the eclipse forum:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/u/104305/
which has brought me to this solution:
Right-click Project -> Properties -> Run/Debug Settings
Choose executable and hit the "New"-button.
Go to the Environment-Tab and create a new variable named PATH with the value: "C:\MinGW\bin".
As I am no expert, I can't explain to you why it works, but it worked for me. If someone knows, how to do this better or wholly avoid this problem, I'd be glad to listen.
This entry was definitively in my Windows-PATH...
PS.: The problem seems also to be known here:
unable to see the output of c++ program in the console
I have an issue with Visual Studio's 2012. I am also using "Sams Teach Yourself C++ in One Hour a day, 7th edition".
After using google to find the "best" compilers for C++, Visual Studios seemed to be the tool of choice.
So I downloaded and installed Visual Studios 2012. The very first lesson in the book is (and tells me to run it as a console app by going to File > New > Project >Visual C++ > Win32 > Console Application )
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << “Hello World!” << std::endl;
return 0;
}
which doesnt work, at all. it outputs an error message similiar to the following:
1>c:\users\nik\documents\visual studio
2012\projects\consoleapplication4\consoleapplication4\consoleapplication4.cpp(8):
error C2065: '“Hello' : undeclared identifier
1> Generating Code...
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped =========="
(there is more lines similiar to the first, but its rather long)
However, after googling and watching a video on youtube the following code works (using File > New > Project >Visual C++ > General > Empty Project )
#include <iostream>
#include "conio.h"
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello Nik" << endl;
_getch();
return 0;
}
Does Visual Studio's 2012 have a C++ compiler? or does it just have a visual c++ compiler (if thats even the issue, only reason I think it could be is I can see templates for Visual C++ but none for c++ by itself...) or do I need to download Visual Studio Express to download native c++ ??
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am feeling some-what out of my depth here...
Thanks.
Besides aphostrophes you may need to disable precompiler headers in project properties.
They are turned on by default in VS2012. If you are not familiar with precompiled headers turn them off.
Right click on project (not solution)
Click properties.
Expand "Configuration properties"
Expand "C/C++"
Choose "Precompiled headers"
Set "Precompiled header" to "Not Using Precompiled Headers"
More information about precompiled headers and stdafx.h file at Wikipedia
The apostrophes you used are wrong:
“Hello World!”
should be
"Hello World!"
Notice even how SO recognizes the difference. You should at least type the code you see in the book instead of copying and pasting it. ;-)
The Win32 console application is actually quite different from the empty project. Win32 utilize a message (input) queue which you poll in a loop and your program respectively utilizes the Win32 API and performs certain operations.
The empty project is a bit less dependent on Win32 or anything that Windows provides in terms of API unless you make it dependent on it. This would be the simples hello world app in you empty project:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
return 0;
}
Just try this::
"Hello World!" instead of “Hello World!”.
The difference between
“Hello World!” and
"Hello Nik" is the apostrophe.
Aslo is the error persists than just check visual c++ library linker.
There is aslo definitely no need for conio.h
If your going to copy from a book at least copy it correctly.
Using namespace std;
would be pretty smart in this case.
In order to fix your error you have to delete std:: of std::cout and std::endl, and write using namespace std; underneath #include iostream and and change “ ” with " ".
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout <<"Hello World" << endl;
return 0;
}
In Visual studio 2012
file>new projet>visual c++ (Project win32)>application settings(application console+Not Using Precompiled)>in right box in you Project (right click, add>new element>file c++).
This is a newbie question but I hope I can express my question as clearly as possible.
I'm trying to do pattern matching in C++.
I've downloaded the Win32 version of PCRE from here and I've placed the downloaded pcre3.dll and pcreposix3.dll files into the folder of Dev-CPP's lib folder (I'm using Bloodshed Dev-C++ 4.9.9 IDE).
I've also downloaded a pcrecpp.h header file and have it in the same directory I'm writing the following code (not writing actually. I'm coping example code from a PDF tutorial named PCRE- Perl Compatible Regular Express).
But I can't get it to work. The code is as follows:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <pcrecpp.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int i;
string s;
pcrecpp::RE re("(\\w+):(\\d+)");
if (re.error().length() > 0) {
cout << "PCRE compilation failed with error: " << re.error() << "\n";
}
if (re.PartialMatch("root:1234", &s, &i))
cout << s << " : " << i << "\n";
}
When I compile the code, Dev-C++ gives me a lot of errors including: "`pcrecpp' has not been declared" and "RE" undeclared.
How should I deal with the downloaded files and fix my problem? Or is there something obvious that I'm missing?
If you specify the file for #include with angle brackets (<>), then the compiler will only look for that header in the locations for external libraries, in so far as the compiler is aware of them.
If you instead use quotation marks (""), then the compiler will also look in the locations for the current project, which typically includes the current directory.
The quick fix for your current problem is to use
#include "pcrecpp.h"
The alternative is to tell the compiler where it can find the headers of the PCRE library.
You will have to tell the compiler where it can find the headers of the PCRE library.
How to do this differs from build system to build system, but if you are using an IDE, then there should be an option somewhere to specify the 'Include directories'. This is where you add the directory of the PCRE headers (with full path).
As a side-note: When the compiler gives you a large number of errors and warnings, always start with fixing the first one. I would guess that in this case it was something like "unable to find header: pcrecpp.h".
It is often the case that, if the compiler tries to continue after encountering a problem, more problems are found that are follow-on problems of the first one. When the first problem is fixed, these also magically disappear.
g++ -lpcrecpp ......
you need to add '-lpcrecpp' to g++ command
cout << “PCRE compilation failed with error: “ << re.error() << “\n”;
I just copied your code and tried to compile it. I got the same error as you reported.
The problem is that string you put to cout is not properly started/ended. You should use real " instead of marks which looks like double quotes (") but it is not. If you fix it, your code should compile w/o any error.
You have included
#include <pcrecpp.h>
1st point to check But is file in the inlcude path of your code. Did you download the installable ? Check where it has been installed on your machine.
2nd point is to check do you have the library paths defined, so that they can be resolved during compiling and linking.
