Code import problem with __stdcall

[dominique]

Hi,

I have a problem with the code import from C++ code.

There is a parse error in EA if i use __stdcall in my C++ code.

The hint in EA is:
You may need to define a language macro

But what can I do? What should the macro look like?

Thx
Dominique

I'm not a C++ guy, but you can define a list of macros which you are using in your code to make EA aware of them: Settings/Preprocessor Macros.

Thomas is correct in his interpretation of this message.  The help page http://sparxsystems.com.au/EAUserGuide/index.html?languagemacros.htm talks more about this and what sort of macros can be skipped.

However, the __stdcall macro should be skipped even without defining a macro for it there.  (And it is for me)  Are you sure that it is __stdcall that is causing your problem?

#ifndef CAMERA_H
#define CAMERA_H

#define cdSTDCALL __stdcall

namespace dom
{

class Camera

{

public:


Camera();



virtual ~Camera(void);



static cdUInt32 __stdcall function1(int i);  // OK



static cdUInt32 cdSTDCALL function2(int i);  // not OK


};
}

#endif



You are right Simon. The problem is not __stdcall. I figured it out as i wrote the test-class above.

The Problem is that EA checks the source code without pay attention  the preprocessing.

Any proposals?


Thx

Read the help link I posted before and add cdSTDCALL to the macro list.

Thank you Simon. But this is not very elegant. I dont have only one macro.
Conclusio: It would be nice if this would be done automatic by EA in the next releases, if possible.
