header files giving errors

xdebug and xlocale are implementation files related to the Standard C++ Library, so they can't be flawed or everyone who uses the same version of your compiler and standard library would be having the same problem (it's happened in the past). stdafx.h is generated by Visual Studio when you elect to use precompiled headers, and prepopulated with a number of #include statements for headers frequently required by the sort of project you created. You may add your own headers to the end of the file (before the #endif).

Seeing as the file is bog standard, the problem is not there. However, when using precompiled headers, stdafx.h must be the first file included by every implementation (.cpp) file in your project. We don't know if you did that.

Moving on, xlocale most frequently relates to errors with std::string. Do you use std::string in any of your code? Can you show us where?

Hi Oluseyi,
I can't thank you enough. You have no idea how big of my problem you have solved with great ease. I really appreciate your informative and helpful reply. I was using :

#include
typedef std::basic_string tstring;
#include

in my sink.cpp file, where i was getting those errors. I commented the above out and all the one hundred and something errors disappeared.

Thank you very much!

Glad to help.

Let me point out that a typedef for wide-character type already exists, std::wstring. It has to be used with wide-character stream objects std::wcout, std::wcin, std::wcerr, std::wclog, which are of std::wstream-derived type. Similarly, for file I/O, you'll need std::wfstream, std::wifstream and std::wofstream.

If you are writing code for mixed mode usage, where some data is in wide character format and other is ASCII, you'll need mbstowcs and wcstombs, too.
