Thread: "Non-function" error

The following code:

Code:

inline void * __cdecl operator new(unsigned int size,
    const char *file, int line)
{
	void *ptr = (void *)malloc(size);
	AddTrack((DWORD)ptr, size, file, line);
	return(ptr);
};

gives me

Code:

error: declaration of `operator new' as non-function

Why?

Okay, I managed to eliminate that problem by commenting out the following in a header file (yes, if you haven't noticed, I'm using the example code from this):

Code:

#define DEBUG_NEW new(__FILE__, __LINE__)
#define new DEBUG_NEW

BUT I want to be able to #include this file and have it override the new operator with that macro to make it spew out some diagnostics. How do I do that?

Problem solved by sticking the function definitions above the macro.
