Hi, I just upgraded to MSVS 2003 from gcc. Whilst trying to implement HelloWorld with iostream I kept coming up against compiler errors: (caused by the inclusion of )



#include <iostream> 
using namespace std;

int main(void) {
      cout << "Hello World!";
      return 0;
}

produced: c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\exception(55): error C2039: 'terminate' : is not a member of 'operator``global namespace''' c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\exception(55): error C2873: 'terminate' : symbol cannot be used in a using-declaration My (rather unsatisfying) solution was to hack the "include\exception" file and remove the reference to using ::terminate; included as part of the definition of _USE_EX This works, but two questions: Has anyone else ever seen this problem and are there any better was to fix it? Regards, Stuart

are C++ Exceptions enabled in your project settings? an error like this can be caused if eh.h is not included in . check your project settings->C/C++->Code Generation->Enable C++ Exceptions (or something like that) and make sure it is enabled. otherwise, i would do a reinstall if that's really all the code you are trying to compile.

Hi yadango,
No, hello world is not the only piece of code I am trying to compile, it was just a nice simple example to demonstrate the bug.

I have checked the points you mentioned, and exceptions were enabled in the project and also eh.h is being included (after then mention of "using ::terminate", but I have confirmed that that is not the problem).

Since I also had VS .NET 2005 on this machine, it could well be an inconsistency between the two, and reinstalling might be the best option.

Thanks,
Stuart
