I was implementing boost::intrusive for one of my project on visual C++ 2008 and i stumbled upon a problem. i am using splay hooks for splay_multiset containers. I have defined splay hook publically under MyClass (code below).
#include <boost/intrusive/unordered_set.hpp>
#include <boost/intrusive/splay_set.hpp>
#include <iostream>
using namespace boost::intrusive;
class MyClass
{
int int_;
public:
MyClass(int i)
: int_(i)
{}
splay_set_member_hook<link_mode<normal_link> > memberSplayHook;
//**OPTION-1**
//PROBLEM CODE SEGMENT ++
//typedef member_hook<MyClass, splay_set_member_hook<link_mode<normal_link> >, &MyClass::memberSplayHook> MemberOption;
//typedef splay_multiset<MyClass, MemberOption> MemberMultiSet;
//PROBLEM CODE SEGMENT --
MemberMultiSet mmset;
};
//**OPTION-2**
//WORKING CODE SEGMENT ++
typedef member_hook<MyClass, splay_set_member_hook<link_mode<normal_link> >, &MyClass::memberSplayHook> MemberOption;
typedef splay_multiset<MyClass, MemberOption> MemberMultiSet;
//WORKING CODE SEGMENT --
int main()
{
return 0;
}
The problem is, to use splay_multiset, whatever option i choose (either option-1 or 2, mention in code), in both cases i see compilation errors.
When Option-1 is enabled (option-2 is commented), i see errors below:
1>d:\projects\sampleproject\sample.cpp(21) : error C2327: 'MyClass::memberSplayHook' : is not a type name, static, or enumerator
1>d:\projects\sampleproject\sample.cpp(21) : error C2065: 'memberSplayHook' : undeclared identifier
1>d:\projects\sampleproject\sample.cpp(22) : error C3203: 'member_hook' : unspecialized class template can't be used as a template argument for template parameter 'O1', expected a real type
While, when Option-2 is enabled (option-1 is commented out), i dont see undeclared identifier error msg as these errors coming with option-1. But i do see errors like below (which are obvious).
1>d:\projects\sampleproject\sample.cpp(25) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'mmset'
1>d:\projects\sampleproject\sample.cpp(25) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
My question is why i am getting error in first case? What can i do to get pass this issue?
Boost member hooks have (always?) been broken, since they don't compile with Visual C++.
I don't have a VS at hand to check for the precise error message so I might be wrong (but reading 'member hooks' and 'Visual C++' always triggers 'there's a problem'-mode), but do try to check this:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/56875
EDIT: Don't take the headline literally -- the same applies to Visual C++ 2010 and 2012. All my member hooks use this workaround; at some point I might even try to understand what it does, or more importantly, how to package it into a more comfortable setup for less "I need to find a previous implementation of this workaround so I can copy-and-modify it"...

I get errors compiling the code below when ugrading from VS 2008 to VS2015. The code is from the com4j project. Help wanted. Thanks!
syntax error: missing ';' before '<' missing type specifier
int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
'array': ambiguous symbol
unexpected token(s) preceding ';'
Code:
// Class to marshal SAFEARRAY to Java multi dimensional array
//
// itemType : array item type
// XDUCER : converter for each array item
template < VARTYPE itemType, class XDUCER >
class ToJavaMultiDimlArrayMarshaller {
typedef array::Array<typename XDUCER::JavaType> JARRAY; // Errors here
typedef SAFEARRAY* NativeType;
typedef jarray JavaType;
What does VARTYPE stand for? Is it a macro? Replacing with class or typename may help
Consider this code snippet:
void Foo(std::string str1, std::string str2) {}
template<typename... Types>
void Bar()
{
Foo(Types{}...); // wont compile
}
Bar<std::string, std::string>();
What I want to do here is to default construct two std::string objects inside the Bar method and pass them to Foo. However my vain attempts (one of them being in the snippet) wont compile so I am wondering whether this is even possible.
I compiled with VC 2013, which throws compiler errors at me. As stated in the comments, other compilers can handle it. Can anyone tell whether the above snippet is standard conform?
It's a problem in the MSVC variadic template expansion process; when it unpacks the list of types it fails to recognise them as suitable for a constructor call. As a workaround, you can perform a type transformation to force the compiler to recognise them:
template<typename T> using identity_t = T; // NEW CODE
void Foo(int, int);
template<typename... Types>
void Bar()
{
Foo(identity_t<Types>{}...); // use identity type transformation
}
int main() {
Bar<int, int>();
}
I haven't managed to find an issue number yet.
This crashes the VC 2013 compiler for me. The errors seem to indicate that it has some problems parsing the code. So when the compiler crashes it must be a compiler bug.

In my c++ program i'm trying to create a dll that houses the functionality of my a* algorithm.
I encounter a problem when trying to pass the map into it, I first tried to use a 2d array, but that limited my map sizes, so i'm now trying to use a vector in a vector and I keep hitting some odd snag.
In my dlls .h file:
namespace IInterface
{
class IInterface
{
public:
// Sets the map
static __declspec(dllexport) void setMap(int h, int w,vector<vector<byte>> &myarray);
private:
static vector<vector<byte>> mymap;
}
Finaly in the .cpp i have:
#include "IInterface.h"
#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
namespace IInterface
{
void IInterface::setMap(int h, int w,vector<vector<byte>> &myarray)
{
mymap = myarray;
}
}
Im getting a few errors on compilation even tho the code looks fine to me.

I looked at some samples, but there was really nothing that matched this scenario. I have a sneaking suspicion i'm forgetting something crucial, but I cant see it. Ideas on getting this to work?
your dlls.h does not include vector type - you should tell the compiler vector definition and include .
Tip: don't use using namespace std; in header file only in cpp. Instead of this use std::vector ...etc.
Secondly, be careful when your dll interface contains stl. This library differs as regards Release and Debug versions, so if you load Release dll in Debug program you could have problems.
I need to refactor a .dll for a Zinc based Flash application.
After copy&paste a class from the master to the branch, I'm getting some strange compiling errors:
GameInfo.h(15): error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'm_wsVersion'
GameInfo.h(15): error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
GameInfo.h(15): error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
The addressed code:
// removed the comments
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string.h>
class GameInfo {
public:
UINT m_uiGameId;
wstring m_wsVersion; // Line 15
UINT m_uiCheckSum;
wstring m_wsFilePath; // Same error report as on line 15
public:
static BOOL createFromFile(wstring path, GameInfo &target); // error "error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'wstring'" thrown
};
I use Visual Studio 2010 and in the IDE itself everything is okay, no syntactical errors or something like that. And as said I did not touch the code, headers seem fine.
Has anyone a clue what about this error?
Try using the string header, and qualifying the namespace:
#include <string>
class GameInfo {
....
std::wstring m_wsVersion;
};
#include <string> is the right standard include in C++ for string classes and use std::wstring.
I strongly recommend AGAINST using a using namespace std; inside one of your headers, as you would force anybody using the header to pull in the std stuff into the global namespace.
I just reorganized the code for a project and now I'm getting errors I can't resolve. This header is included by a .cpp file trying to compile.
#include "WinMain.h"
#include "numDefs.h"
#include <bitset>
class Entity
{
public:
Entity();
virtual ~Entity();
virtual bitset<MAX_SPRITE_PIXELS> getBitMask();
virtual void getMapSection(float x, float y, int w, int h, bitset<MAX_SPRITE_PIXELS>* section);
};
I'm getting these compiler errors for the declaration of Entity::getBitMask():
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<'
error C2433: 'Entity::bitset' : 'virtual' not permitted on data declarations
error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';'
There are more similar errors for the next line as well. It seems like bitset isn't getting included but it clearly is? I can't figure out what's going wrong. WinMain.h includes windows.h, and numDefs.h includes nothing.
Using MS Visual C++ 2008.
Declare the bitset as std::bitset<MAX_SPRITE_PIXELS>.
The bitset template is defined in the std:: namespace, so you either need to reference it by it's full name std::bitset or add using namespace std; somewhere before the class declaration.
I think you need to say std::bitset.
Looks like an error in "numDefs.h"
