    in MSVC++ 6

    project / settings / C/C++ / Precompiled Headers / Not using precompiled headers


    or include the thing

    #include "stdafx.h"

    the code...

    thank you for helping ...here is the code(for example):
    myprogram.cpp:
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <function.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        cout << funcA() <<"\n";
        return 0;
    }
    function.h:
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    char* funcA();
    function.cpp:
    Code:
    #include <function.h>
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    char*funcA()
    {
    char *st = new char[5];
    st = "halo";
    return st;
    }
    i cant copy the exact program cos it is too long....but if you think you need it...i can do so...

    by the way, my program is support MFC.
    and...i have tried to inclue the code in function.cpp in to function.h....it works....but....is that the only way out??

    TO fill your brain,

    thank you for helping, i have tried your suggestion, but i have ome code like getline(), ifstream in the program.....it treat all of them as errors.

    I get an error if I try to use this statement in the file containing main()

    #include <function.h>

    Generally, the < > are for standard library header files. For you own header files you do this:

    #include "function.h"

    Also, these lines are unnecessary in function.h:

    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <string.h>

    since you don't reference anything from those header files in function.h.
