When trying in VS2010 Ultimate sp1 to #include ANY std header inside "stdafx.h" I'm getting an error:
fatal error C1004: unexpected end-of-file found
Does anyone else experience this or is there something wrong with my installation?
Edit
My main looks like this:
#include "stdafx.h"
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
return 0;
}
stdafx.h looks like this:
#pragma once
#include "targetver.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>
// TODO: reference additional headers your program requires here
#include <_dbdao.h>//if I remove this line it will compile
stdafx.cpp looks like this:
#include "stdafx.h"
AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE
There are a few reasons why the Visual Studio Compiler gives this error. MSDN explains it here
The compiler reached the end of a source file without resolving a
construct. The code may be missing one of the following elements:
A closing brace
A closing parenthesis
A closing comment marker (*/)
A semicolon
My guess is that it's not really related to the stdafx.h file, but rather you have a class somewhere like this:
class A {
...
}
without the semicolon after }. It has to be
class A {
...
};
If this does not solve it you should do what tenfour is suggesting. Eliminate until it compiles to find out what causes it.
If you use precompiled headers, you need to include stdafx.h in every source file in your project.
Otherwise it can lead to the error message you quoted here.

When I try to build test sources I get an error like after this.
stl_tree.h:542:14: error: ‘__node’ does not name a type
::new(__node) _Rb_tree_node<_Val>;
Executor's content.
#include <CppUTest/TestHarness.h>
#include <CppUTest/CommandLineTestRunner.h>
#include <CppUTest/UtestMacros.h>
#include <CppUTestExt/MockSupport.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
MemoryLeakWarningPlugin::turnOffNewDeleteOverloads();
return CommandLineTestRunner::RunAllTests(argc, argv);
}
My test' s source code starts with below includes.
#include <CppUTest/TestHarness.h>
#include <CppUTest/CommandLineTestRunner.h>
#include <CppUTest/UtestMacros.h>
#include <CppUTestExt/MockSupport.h>
#include <iostream>
#include "common/data_util_astro_cfg.h"
TEST_GROUP(ASTRO_UTIL_TEST) {
void setup() { }
void teardown() { }
};
And the "common/data_util_astro_cfg.h" file has following includes.
#include "../data/data_type_file.h"
#include <json/json.h>
static AstroConfigs toAstroConfigs(std::string content)
My problem is I get compilation error with these includes, when I remove line json.h include everything is fine I can get binary output.
I think the problem is about new operator' s conflict. The solution is offered by Cpputest side and it is located on http://cpputest.github.io/manual.html#memory_leak_detection. But it isn't clear somehow. :(
The question has been already defined on Compilation error after including <map>. It is so similar to mine but the problem has solved with creating new project. In that case I have no option for that. I'm using Yocto project and the project has created with auto generation tools as well.
Can you help me on this? (Thank you for your time.)
Unfortunately, I solved the problem after a while. It seems something wrong with CPPUTest. At the top of the test file, I have several includes. Some of them belong to CPPUTest library, some of them are mine. My includes are following CPPUTest that's why I’m getting an error. If I changed their places, it would be working correctly. It seems meaningless, but it is the correct solution. ”PROBLEM SHOULD BE RESOLVED WITH DEFINE CPPUTEST LIBRARIES AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR INCLUDE LIST.”
I am using Visual Studio Community 2017 to code c++. When I run the following code everything works fine.
#include "pch.h"
#include<Windows.h>
#include<Psapi.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Really!! How do you do it?";
_getch();
}
But if I change the order of #includes by including psapi.h before Windows.h, compiler goes badass and throws 198 errors at me, which surprisingly(maybe only to me) includes Identifier "BOOL" is undefined.
Why is this happening?
Since Psapi.h's include tree is trivial, I'm going to exemplify. Everything relies on VStudio 2015 (Community) (v14.0.25431.01 Update 3) and Windows Kits 8.1 (? funny, because v10 is there too) files (with default env vars and preprocessor definitions):
BOOL is defined in minwindef.h (#157: typedef int BOOL;)
Psapi.h only includes one file (#27: #include <winapifamily.h>)
winapifamily.h doesn't include any other file
So, when reaching Psapi.h (#87: BOOL WINAPI EnumProcesses (...), the compiler doesn't know anything about BOOL, so it complains.
Windows.h includes minwindef.h (indirectly, via windef.h), and that's why it works when you include it before Psapi.h.
Personally, I think it's a bug in Psapi.h, since it's not self contained, but there might be a good reason (that I'm not aware of) for that. Anyway, if this is indeed a bug, it wouldn't be MS's 1st one :)
#include <Windows.h>
#include <WinSock2.h>
// main present just for rigorosity's sake
int main() {
return 0;
}
to answer the question, I know this is DATED but the issues persist today. You need the following:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <psapi.h>
After stdlib.h was included, the errors were gone.
I just tried to compile my C++ code and an error appears when I try to do so.
The error appears on line 9
Here are the versions of the gcc and g++ and such
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:
I am also including Movie.h:
And also Movie.cpp:
https://puu.sh/vb53G/9e9abd1832.png (I was not able to include more than 3 images due to restrictions)
Firstly, in your Movie.h file, you have not included the string header file correctly. It should be:
#include <string> // without the .h extension
error: 'string' does not name a type
Secondly, you have forgotten to add the closing parenthesis of the constructor function of class "Movie". I am assuming that you have added this now, after the edit
As for the marking done by your compiler, you may find the following StackOverflow post helpful:
StackOverflow Post: Unresolved inclusion iostream.
The link is for the Eclipse IDE, but you can find a similar solution for your own IDE (I cannot tell which one you have).
The line under the #include is just a warning (I'm not sure why).
However, the errors are from the "Movie" class:
1. add "using namespace std" on the top of this class.
2. close the parenthesis on the constructor of 'Movie'.
The error messages are fairly clear:
'string' does not name a type
That is, the compiler is unaware of the type string because either:
you have not #include <string> in Movie.h
or you have, but have not brought it into your namespace with a using namespace std;
although why not just refer to it as std::string?
You are missing
#include <string>
So, I have this question. Why does cout throws
error C2065: 'cout' : undeclared identifier
I am using Visual Studio 2012 as an IDE and I am writing a school project. I have everything done except an example file. So I am trying to write something on the screen like this:
#include "iostream"
#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"example";
return 0;
}
So the problem is with cout... printf works fine, but I want to use cout.
EDIT:
I've changed "" to <> but it is not helping. Also I am using this code only for example... This is not the whole project.
stdafx.h shall be the first include directive in your source file.
Switch files and convert the second include to <>, as other suggested.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
See this post for more information.
First of all:
#include <iostream>
instead of #include "iostream"
Secondly, it is generally considered bad practice to write using namespace std;, even though most courses start with that. It is better to only use what you actually need, in your case:
using std::cout;
#include "iostream"
should be
#include <iostream>
Quoting from this post:difference-between-iostream-and-iostream-quotes-in-include
By courtesy of #Jerry Coffin's answer:
When you use < >, the compiler only looks in the system-designated directory/directories (e.g., whatever you've set in the include environment variable) for the header.
When you use " ", the compiler looks in the local directory first, and if that fails, re-searches just like you'd used < >. Technically, (i.e., according to the standard) that doesn't have to be the "local" directory, but that's how it works in essentially every compiler of which I'm aware).
EDIT:
However, the root cause is that stdafx.h is a precompiled header. Visual C++ will not compile anything before the #include "stdafx.h" in the source file, unless the compile option /Yu'stdafx.h' is unchecked (by default); it assumes all code in the source up to and including that line is already compiled. However, it is still better to use <> with iostream not to confuse reader of the code.
If you use #include <iostream> with the <> instead of "" then it should work. Right now, the compiler doesn't know where to find the iostream library.
Also, you might want to change cout<<"example"; to cout<<"example"<<endl; for a new line so that it formats correctly.
Came across this issue while trying to build a Dynamic Linked Library. Make sure that instead of the #include stdafx.h you specify the following include on the first line of your .cpp file:
#include "pch.h"
This should also be the case for VS2017 or earlier.
This error also occurred in the Visual Studio 2017 IDE. Moving stdafx.h to the top solved the error.
For more on stdafx.h, see What's the use for "stdafx.h" in Visual Studio?
When compiling the following source:
int main()
{
exp(1.0);
return 0;
}
the copiler gives the following error: error C3861: 'exp': identifier not found because I didn't have the line: #include <iostream> above main()
However, visual studios won't display the error if a library is indirectly included. For example, the following code compiles without a problem even though the dependency of exp is in <cmath>.
#include <istream>
int main()
{
exp(1.0);
return 0;
}
This is because <iostream> includes <istream> which include <ostream> which includes <ios> which includes <xlocnum> which includes <cmath>.
Is there a way to make visual studios throw an error if I don't explicitly include a library yet try to use one of its identifiers?
You may want to have a look at include-what-you-use. It is a clang-based tool trying to detect missing and superfluous include directives.
