RE: [Mingw-users] Re:

[Lorne E. <lo...@gl...>]

Hey all,

With "iphlpapi.h" : this header assumes "windef.h" :

eg: 	#include <windows.h>
	#include <iphlpapi.h>

is ok:

	#include <iphlpapi.h>
	#include <windows.h>

is not. It expects previous declaration of DWORD from "windef.h". Should =
this be included in  iphlpapi.h previous to "iprtrmib.h" which uses the =
DWORD type, or is it common sense to declare windows.h (or windef.h) =
before you include any other headers?

Regards,
Lorne

Since 'string' is in the 'std' namespace, you must use 'std::string' to
access it, or put 'using std::string;' or 'using namespace std;' earlier =
in
your source file. The old compiler did not require this because it was =
not
C++ Standard compliant.

but code that I have been working on with the old version that compiled
