#50 stlsoft syntax error (visual studio 2010)

[itti]

Hi,

I'm getting syntax errors when I try to compile a c++ project that uses pantheios (and stlsoft through this) with visual studio 2010:

4>F:\libs\stlsoft-1.9.108\include\stlsoft/memory/auto_buffer.hpp(156): error C2059: syntax error : ')'
4> F:\libs\stlsoft-1.9.108\include\stlsoft/memory/auto_buffer.hpp(166) : see reference to class template instantiation 'stlsoft::auto_buffer_internal_size_calculator<T>' being compiled

Can you post a minimal-sized project / .cpp file that exercises the issue?

Thanks

I'm desperately trying to get the same effect in a minimal project but i fail. Everything seems to work in a small project. Do you have any suggestions on how I could find out what is causing this behaviour?

Note: the project I try to compile did build fine when I developed it for linux. I'm in the middle of porting the software to Windows.

Hi again

Thanks for your efforts so far.

I've had a look at this myself, and I'm pretty sure that it's a problem with one of the Pantheios examples/test-programs. I'll try to confirm, and release a fix, in the next 48 hours.

For now, just do "[n]make build.libs", and that way it won't try to compile the erroneous test/example program

HTH

Hi,

thank you for your help and effort. Compiling just with "nmake build.libs" did help for the pantheios compile but not for my own code. I narrowed the problem down though to the order of two include statements.

In one of my header files i had this:

#include <json_spirit.h>
#include <pantheios/pantheios.hpp>

which seamed to cause the mentioned compilation error. when i reorder the includes to

#include <pantheios/pantheios.hpp>
#include <json_spirit.h>

the error goes away.

The header file "json_spirit.h" belongs to the json spirit library. That's an implementation of a json parser using boost::spirit one can find at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/JSON_Spirit.aspx (not my code).

At the moment I'm not able to tell what in json_spirit.h did cause the compilation error...

[Tony Counts]

I am using pantheios and through it STLSoft, and received the same errors. I am not however using the json_spirit header, and the pantheios/pantheios.hpp is already at the top of my includes.

To get past this, I can modify line #156 of auto_buffer.hpp to remove the parenthesis, and the compilation works.
", divided_value = max_value < divided_value_ "

[Tony Counts]

Sorry more info:
I was upgrading an existing working VS2008 pantheios logged application to VS2010 when i encountered this compile error. VS2010 does not seem to like the parenthesis around the condition clause, perhaps because it has other parens nested in it from the previous enum value?

[Fang Dongheng]

I have the same problem when I worked on the vs2008 and vs 2010(using pantheios and boost together). In some cpp files, I must let the auto_buffer.hpp to be the first h file I included(that's works, but I don't know why??).
