Hi I am new to C++ and Code::Block
I am trying to make a simple code to test it, using strings.
when I compile the code there is no problem, but when I try to debug it, Code::Block gives me the following warning:
Cannot open file:
File:../../../../../src/gcc-4.9.2/libgcc/unwind-sjlj.c
Info: "Multiple information windows with the same message have been
supressed."
Image of the error FYI:
Part of the code that gives me an error.
inside main function
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main ()
{
std::mystring("What's wrong with strings");
return 0;
}
I realise that this error only occurs when I try to debug a string or a file containing a string.
Any help would be appreciated.
some other information that might help:
Code::Block 16.01
Compiler MinGW gcc4.9.2
Windows 7 Professional 32 bits SP1
First of all, to use strings you must include the file header string. And the name of the type string is..std::string, not std::mystring.
#include <string>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
std::string mystring("Nothing's wrong with strings");
return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
string mystring = "Whats wrong with my string";
return 0;
}
If you write it in the following way, it should work.
It's safer to define strings like I showed it. It will be also easier for you if you add using namespace std in the beginning of every program if you are new to C++.
Here is the simple code. I cant figure out why the code would compile but not run. I tried CodeBlocks and DevC++. non worked.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello";
return 0;
}
#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>
int main()
{
cout<<"hi";
system("pause");//to hold console window
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
The code is absolutely correct and it compiles too. Make sure you are saving the file with .cpp extension. DevC++ works perfectly fine, there is no issue with the compiler.
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
string st = "Hello world";
return 0;
}
and
#include <string>
int main ()
{
std::string st = "Hello world";
return 0;
}
I tried compiling this code using minGW compiler on netbeans. It brings up the following error after the successful build.
RUN FAILED (exit value -1,073,741,511, total time: 93ms)
But it works clean when strings are not used. I would like to know what I am doing wrong here. Thanks in advance.
Use c++ strings and don't use using namespace std:
#include <string> //c++ string header
int main ()
{
std::string st = "Hello world";
return 0;
}
#include <string.h> is the old C-style string header and most likely isn't what you want to use here. See this question for more details: Difference between <string> and <string.h>?
Note: If you really wanted the old C-style strings then you really should be using #include <cstring> because this will put those functions into the std namespace and won't cause any namespace pollution that can lead to other undesirable outcomes.
Likely what happened was that you used the old style string header and didn't properly initialize those strings. The old C-style strings don't have a constructor and operator= defined like the std::string class.
Edit: After looking at the Netbeans forum this is a problem with Netbeans and not a c++ issue. Try changing the output to an external terminal in Netbeans. Or run the program directly from the command line. If these approaches don't fix the problem or are undesirable then make a post over on the Netbeans forum. Also have a look at this question: Program won't run in NetBeans, but runs on the command line!
Uss #include <string> instead of string.h
I am working on the 'driver' part of my programing assignment and i keep getting this absurd error:
error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier
I have even tried using the std::cout but I get another error that says:
IntelliSense: namespace "std" has no member "cout"
When I have declared using namespace std, included iostream and I even tried to use ostream
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
cout << "hey" << endl;
return 0;
}
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and running Windows 7. All of the .h files have using namespace std and include iostream and ostream.
In Visual Studio you must #include "stdafx.h" and be the first include of the cpp file. For instance:
These will not work.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
cout << "hey" << endl;
return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace std;
int main () {
cout << "hey" << endl;
return 0;
}
This will do.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
cout << "hey" << endl;
return 0;
}
Here is a great answer on what the stdafx.h header does.
write this code, it works perfectly..
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello World!";
return 0;
}
I had same problem on Visual Studio C++ 2010. It's easy to fix. Above the main() function just replace the standard include lines with this below but with the pound symbol in front of the includes.
# include "stdafx.h"
# include <iostream>
using namespace std;
The include "stdafx.h" is ok
But you can't use cout unless you have included using namespace std
If you have not included namespace std you have to write std::cout instead of simple cout
If the only file you include is iostream and it still says undefined, then maybe iostream doesn't contain what it's supposed to. Is it possible that you have an empty file coincidentally named "iostream" in your project?
I have seen that if you use
#include <iostream.h>
then you will get the problem.
If you use
#include <iostream>
(notice - without the .h)
then you will not get the problem you mentioned.
If you started a project requiring the #include "stdafx.h" line, put it first.
I've seen similar things happen when I was using the .c file extension with C++ code. Other than that, I'd have to agree with everyone about a buggy installation. Does it work if you try to compile the project with an earlier release of VS? Try VC++ Express 2008. Its free on msdn.
Such a silly solution in my case:
// Example a
#include <iostream>
#include "stdafx.h"
The above was odered as per example a, when I changed it to resemble example b below...
// Example b
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
My code compiled like a charm. Try it, guaranteed to work.
The code below compiles and runs properly for me using gcc. Try copy/pasting this and see if it works.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int bob (int a) { cout << "hey" << endl; return 0; };
int main () {
int a = 1;
bob(a);
return 0;
}
I have VS2010, Beta 1 and Beta 2 (one on my work machine and one at home), and I've used std plenty without issues. Try typing:
std::
And see if Intellisense gives you anything. If it gives you the usual stuff (abort, abs, acos, etc.), except for cout, well then, that is quite a puzzler. Definitely look into your C++ headers in that case.
Beyond that, I would just add to make sure you're running a regular, empty project (not CLR, where Intellisense is crippled), and that you've actually attempted to build the project at least once. As I mentioned in a comment, VS2010 parses files once you've added an include; it could be that something stuck the parser and it didn't "find" cout right away. (In which case, try restarting VS maybe?)
Take the code
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
out of your .cpp file, create a header file and put this in the .h file. Then add
#include "whatever your header file is named.h"
at the top of your .cpp code. Then run it again.
I had the same issue when starting a ms c++ 2010 project from scratch - I removed all of the header files generated by ms and but used:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "hey" << endl;
return 0;
}
I had to include stdafx.h as it caused an error not having it in.
Try it, it will work. I checked it in Windows XP, Visual Studio 2010 Express.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main( )
{
int i = 0;
cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> i;
}
before you begin this program get rid of all the code and do a simple hello world inside of main. Only include iostream and using namespace std;.
Little by little add to it to find your issue.
cout << "hi" << endl;
Are you sure it's compiling as C++? Check your file name (it should end in .cpp). Check your project settings.
There's simply nothing wrong with your program, and cout is in namespace std. Your installation of VS 2010 Beta 2 is defective, and I don't think it's just your installation.
I don't think VS 2010 is ready for C++ yet. The standard "Hello, World" program didn't work on Beta 1. I just tried creating a test Win32 console application, and the generated test.cpp file didn't have a main() function.
I've got a really, really bad feeling about VS 2010.
When you created your project, you did not set 'use precompiled headers' correctly. Change it in properties->C/C++->precompiled headers.
In Visual studio use all your header filer below "stdafx.h".
Just use printf!
Include stdio.h in your stdafx.h header file for printf.
Include the std library by inserting the following line at the top of your code:
using namespace std;
is normally stored in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include folder. First check if it is still there. Then choose Tools + Options, Projects and Solutions, VC++ Directories, choose "Include files" in the "Show Directories for" combobox and double-check that $(VCInstallDir)include is on top of the list.
I ran across this error after just having installed vs 2010 and just trying to get a nearly identical program to work.
I've done vanilla C coding on unix-style boxes before, decided I'd play with this a bit myself.
The first program I tried was:
#include "stdafx.h"
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
The big thing to notice here... if you've EVER done any C coding,
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
Looks weird. it should be:
int main( int argc, char ** argv )
In my case I just changed the program to:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello world from VS 2010!\n";
return 0;
}
And it worked fine.
Note: Use CTRL + F5 so that the console window sticks around so you can see the results.
I came here because I had the same problem, but when I did #include "stdafx.h" it said it did not find that file.
What did the trick for me was: #include <algorithm>.
I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
These are the things that you can use then, incl. 'count': Link
Had this problem, when header files declared "using namespace std;", seems to be confusing for GNU compiler;
anyway is bad style!
Solution was providing std::cout ... in headers and moving "using namespace std" to the implementation file.
In VS2017, stdafx.h seems to be replaced by pch.h see this article,
so use:
#include "pch.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Enter 2 numbers:" << endl;
It was the compiler - I'm now using Eclipse Galileo and the program works like a wonder
