I'm new to both C++ and Visual Studio 2015 and already have 457 errors in my first program.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
this simple piece of "hello world" code gave me 457 errors so I started experimenting and found out that even this
#include <iostream>
by itself gives me all those errors. I have no idea how to fix this.
Your hello world program is correct. See here
What you may want to look into is if PATH environment variable on your Windows Machine is set correctly.
Alternatively, you may want to compile the program in Windows shell/powershell and see if that is working for you.
May I also recommend using mingw installer and get started right away with your compilation & execution.

I installed Codeblocks on my Windows 10 computer. To check that everything works fine, I first compiled the simple C program
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello world!\n");
return 0;
}
That works without problem but when I try the C++ equivalent:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
return(0);
}
Then the "command prompt" window opens but no output is shown. I can see in taskmanager that the program is running but as said without any visible output. I also tried running the program directly from the command line but with the same effect. Anyone any ideas?
I found the issue. There was still an older version of MinGW installed in a different folder. I deleted all instances of MinGW, and codeblocks as well. Adter I reinstalled codeblocks everything worked as it should.
This Guy solved similar problem with Codeblocks.
Remove the following Global compiler setting:
-Wl,-subsystem,windows
somehow codeblocks decided not to run any new programs anymore. All I get is a black screen when running. Take for example the simple "Hello World" program. That will not even run. It compiles just fine without any error. All i see though when codeblocks opens is a black screen.
I tried looking online for help. It looked like this
Can't find file executable in your configured search path for gnc gcc compiler
would fix the problem. It didn't though.
This was my code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
cout<< "Hello World!" << endl;
return 0;
}
I don't know what happened and why. Sincerely hoping for an answer.
I have 3 computers, two of which use Windows 8. Using the latest version of MinGW's g++ (4.8.1-4) my hello world program freezes whenever I compile and run on the Windows 8 computers but not in Windows 7.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello, World!" <<std::endl;
return 0;
}
This compiles just fine in g++ but running a.exe will display "Hello, World!" then a window will pop up and say "a.exe has stopped working, Windows can check online for a solution to the program...." etc.
Has anybody seen this problem.
Also, I tried "std::cout << "Hello, World!\n" << std::flush;" and this has the same problem. It seems that every function that flushes the buffer causes a crash.
Following Eric's advice, I recompiled the program and ran it in gdb and got the following output:
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x00405065 in _Jv_RegisterClasses ()
In the second instance, the '\n' should cause an output flush in any case, although in Windows I believe console output is immediate (or perhaps automatic after a short timeout) in any case without an explicit flush.
I suggest the following experiments:
1) See if it is specific to the C++ library by using the C library (in MinGW Microsoft's C runtime is used rather than glibc):
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf( "Hello, World!\n" ) ;
return 0;
}
2) Eliminate the exit code by:
int main()
{
return 0;
}
3) No newline at all:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello, World! ;
return 0;
}
4) Try different compiler options such as optimisation levels, or -fno-builtin for example, or as suggested here: -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ (although I doubt ``-static-libgcc` will itself have any effect since MinGW uses Microsoft's C runtime DLL and the static library is only available with Microsoft's tools).
I had the same issue and found after a long painful search that I had multiple versions of the mingw provided libstdc++-6.dll on my computer. One was part of the mingw installation the others were part of other installation packages (gnuplot and GIMP). As I had gnuplot in my PATH the compiled mingw exe it would use an older, incompatible version of this dll and crash with the described symptoms. I can, therefore, confirm Dietmar Kühl's suspicion. As suggested above linking the library statically obviously helps in this case as the library functions are included in the exe at compile time.
I have downloaded plenty of different versions of code blocks, and none of them compiles quite right. My hello world runs within code blocks just fine. However, when I run the executable outside of codeblocks, it says "Hello.exe has stopped working". There isn't anything wrong with my code (I don't think.) and my mingw compiles fine outside of codeblocks. What does codeblocks do to my executable? Is there some option to fix this? I am on windows 7 64 bit, and my current code blocks version is 10.05. My program:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
cin.ignore();
return 0;
}
I solved the problem. I had a broken compiler (or something like that). My suggestion for other people with this problem is to experiment with different versions of the minGW compiler. Also, change the version of code blocks you are using, or even uninstall everything and restart. The problem with mine was I downloaded a bad compiler. [The truth is, codeblocks isn't the best ide.]
I have installed the newest MinGW suite. My project still compiles without any error but the produced executable is not working. Starting it results in the well known windows xp error message. Paradoxically source code like
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("test\n");
return 0;
}
produces a working executable while
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "test\n" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
compiles fine but the executable is broken as described above.
Before i made the update everything worked. So what goes wrong here?
Do you have the libstdc++-*.dll in the path? It may be shared in newer MinGW versions, and std::cout uses it.
A tool like Process Monitor will probably tell you what is actually going wrong in more detail, and possibly even tell you what you need to fix to make it work.
