Thread: Strange vc++ complier error

Im trying to compile one of my projects and im getting an error from msvc++ 6.


error...
--------------------Configuration: test - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
get.cpp
test.cpp
C:\dev\test\test.cpp(14) : warning C4518: 'char ' : storage-class or type specifier(s) unexpected here; ignored
C:\dev\test\test.cpp(14) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'winsock'
C:\dev\pws\test.cpp(14) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
qwickload.cpp
Error executing cl.exe.
code...(test.cpp)


#include <windows.h>

#include "qwickload.h"

#define xmem(n) (char*)LocalAlloc(LMEM_FIXED | MEM_ZEROINIT , n)
#define xfree(n) LocalFree( n )

char winsock[] = "Winsock dll"; //


I can't see anything striking and can't seem to get past this error... it doesn't happen with other projects on the same compiler, similar stuff.

the MEM_ZEROINIT thing was just a typo its LMEM_ZEROINIT in the actual code. I though I checked qwikload.h but I forget a ";" on the last prototype. Any Ideas on memory allocation ? Use HeapAlloc instead ?

hmmm, sorry to double post, but does anyone know how to stop getting the error "unresolved external chkstk", I only want to link to kernel32 and not use any other libraries( ie msvcrt.lib ), I found a page on the msdn site but when I used "/Gs" there was no change [ msvc++ 6 ], the error still occoured.

Thanks for any help
