Disappearing Headers...

I was doing some work today, and when I tried to compile the header files iostream and string were just missing. I was compiling not 10 seconds before and it was working fine. Wtf is going on?

Ive had files on my pc magically disapear before too. Its very odd as what ever it is doing this seems to target a certain area and delete files with a certain extension.

Hmmm...kind of scary actually
Do you know where I could download those headers again?

I cant of anything this side of reinstalling your compiler.

well that kind of blows

Well, I'm pretty sure that even though (for example) iostream is a standard C++ header. There could be varrying differences between compilers.

What compiler are you using?

Dev cpp

Well I suppose, I could simply email you the devcpp headers.... I suppose that would work.

PM me and give me your email and what headers you need.

Did you do a search on your computer to verify the header files were missing, or did the compiler just give you an error saying it couldnt find the header files? It could just be a path setting in your compiler that is out of wack.

I did and they are not there.

Emailing the headers may not work if the library is also missing, but it's worth a shot. If you're using Dev-C++, easy enough to just re-install the compiler, don't you think?

It's more of what the hell is going on, but yea your right, it probably would be easier just to reinstall.

I hope all your project code is well away from c:\devc++ or wherever you've installed the compiler.

Okay, this is just getting annoying now. The iostream file is in the include folder C:\Dev-Cpp\include. It still says its not there. :confused: :mad: :(


EDIT
Ok now the iostream is working but like half of the functions in conio.c dont work.

Thats because its MinGW compiler and not a borland.

Thats the ONLY thing I ever suggest using borland for, is the conio functions and the BGI stuff.
