ATL complains about not including Windows after VS2012 -> VS2017 - c++

I'm currently update our projects from VS2012 to VS2017. This has led one project to crash and moan in compilation about ATL.

1>Done building project "MyProj.vcxproj" -- FAILED.
With error lines such as "undeclared identifier" refers to headers in the windows.h library.
When I include I include through a StdAfx.h which has;
#include <atlbase.h>
#include <atlcom.h>
Regardless where I put Windows.h, the error occurs. I find it likely that it is generated by _WIN32_WINNTstuff but all of that "should" work. Is it deprecated? I don't know... Anyone have any ideas?


In my case there were multiple project including each others stdafx.h headers. This caused the macros to fail/corrupt. Sorting that out and using correct values of WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT fixed it all.


Aside from Alexander's answer make sure that you do NOT define the following:
#define NOTEXTMETRIC

Can't include cliext headers (for c++ cli, Visual Studio)

Even with a clean empty dll project that is compiled with /clr and only consists of a single cpp file with
#include <cliext/vector>
and nothing else, the compiler spews

This happens with VS2017, VS2019 and VS2019 preview, all newest versions. I'm so confused. This doesn't seem like a bug since it's rather old and proven headers and happens in different compilers.
edit: super duper complete code here (with project files): https://gist.github.com/s9w/a65bf50ed928bd0d6629c1d10b013463
edit: To help the people from the future with the same problem: It's the /permissive- switch (conformance mode) - doesn't play well with that header.

build error with xtgmath.h and cmath

I recently installed GLUT, and GLEW, and was running some OpenGL example code the other day. I come back to my project and try to run some basic c++ code:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
cout << "Come up and C++ me some time.";
cout << endl;
cout << "You won’t regret it!" << endl;
return 0;
}
I am using Visual Studio 2013, and the file is C++. Anyway, I get these errors:

Compiling error in C++ project with C and C++ codes

I've created a C++ project where I use C and C++ codes and have some problems with headers...
OK, I have 3 codes:
basicOCR.cpp
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include "preprocessing.h"
#include "basicOCR.h"
preprocessing.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "preprocessing.h"
main.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include "basicOCR.h"
and my 2 own header files:
basicOCR.h
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
preprocessing.h
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
Whenever I try to compile a project, it compiles basicOCR.cpp without any problems but preprocessing.c and main.c give me syntax errors in cstdlib and xstddef. I know that they are C++ libraries. I read this How to mix C and C++
and tried almost everything but it didn't work.

I got that. The solution to this was to make a right click on each C code and Properties>C/C++>Advanced>Compile As and check Compile as C++ Code(/TP)

It looks like vc use c++ headers for c code.
This does not answer the question, but why not just use C++? The only time you need C is when you want to be compatible with different versions of different compilers, which happens when you build a plug-in architecture. In this case you declare plug-in prototypes in a "SDK" header like this:
#ifndef __SDK_H
#define __SDK_H
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif
__declspec(dllexport) return_type calling_convention function_name(parameters);
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
#endif
Then you can compile your plugin.c which should contain the following:
#include "sdk.h"
return_type function_name(parameters)
{
/*Do stuff here*/
}

Build failed with cstdio and cstdlib errors in visual C++

What can I do about it?

This usually happens when you are trying to compile C code with C++ headers. If you want to compile C code, change C++ headers to C headers (cstdio to stdio.h, cstdlib to stdlib.h), if you want to compile C++ code, change your project settings (Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Compile As C++ code).

Replacing native VS 2010 (VC10) tr1 libraries with Boost.TR1

I have been using VS 2005 (VC8) with Boost.TR1 in the std::tr1 namespace by setting the Include Directories of VS to prioritize the boost tr1 headers as described here.
Now I am moving over to VS 2010 (VC10) and I seem to be getting compilation errors using the same include method.
The Include Directories are set to:
[boost-root]\boost\tr1\tr1
[boost-root]
VC standard include directories
Sample code:
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
std::cout << std::tr1::bind(std::minus<int>(), 5, std::tr1::placeholders::_1)(5)
<< std::endl;
return 0;
}

It seems like it is using VC10's tr1 headers instead of boost. What is the correct method to get VS to use Boost.TR1 as a replacement?

Try defining _HAS_CPP0X=0 in the project's set of defines - that's supposed to disable VC10's TR1 support.

Microsoft advises against using _HAS_CPP0X=0 with VS2010. What you can do is:
Use Microsoft's tr1 implementation (not recommended, it's buggy)
Use the boost tr1 features directly from the boost namespace using full qualifiers (e.g. boost::function(..), boost::bind(...), etc.). You get name clashes otherwise.
Use using-declarations
