RE: [Dev-C++] re+ Public Domain C++ IDE

[P.D. v. Z. <pa...@my...>]

The C++ you're using is pre-standard C++. In 1998 a C++ standard was
finalized and became official, which altered a few things you might be used
to. For instance, namespaces have been added, and are now enforced by most
compilers. The standard C++ library functions, types and objects are now
stored inside a namespace called "std". "void main" has never been standard
C or C++, and thus has always been wrong. The newer versions of GCC simply
don't accept it anymore. Furthermore, the standard C++ library header files
are now extensionless, to avoid confusion with standard C library header
files.
So, applying all these changes, here is what your code should look like now:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello Dolly\n";
    return 0;
}

Hope this helped.

Paul

Subject: [Dev-C++] re+ Public Domain C++ IDE

I have downloaded your C++ IDE 1991 and looks great . However after
having taught C++ for the past 6 years . All the simple code I input to
your IDE seems to fail with notes such as antiquated etc etc. Code is as
follows you cannot get more  simple than this.
                                 

                                                     #include<iostream.h>

                         void main()

                  {
                                            cout<<"Hello Dolly\n";
                                         
                                     // you dont need a return at this
level of code, also
                                    // Main is not expecting anything
back  !
                 }
 Would apreciate any help advice or perhaps you could steer me to a
tutorial which would elaborat or give examples that work with your
compiler !!. Regards
