Thread: visual studio 2006 problem

hi all,
can we use different functionalities of vectors like "rbegin","rend",end,erase,in visual studio 6 editon?
I am facing problems in this, while transfering my project from visual studio 2005 express edition to visual studio 2006...

If yes can anyone suggest the method or setting required?

my customer is having visual studio 6.
Can you please suggest any changes i need to do?

I am having problems in vectors only, especially in functionalities of vectors like "rbegin","rend",end,erase. I am unable to access them..
Is this requires some cahnge in settins?

Please note that it is Visual Studio 6.0, not Visual Studio 2006. Visual Studio 6.0 is from 1998 or around there. At ten years old it might time for your customer to upgrade to a newer and more standards compliant compiler.

The code for vectors is generally the same in version 6.0 as it is in 2005, so you'll have to post code and errors if you are having problems. There should be nothing special that you need to do with regards to vectors, rbegin, rend, end and erase.

I am having vector declaration as shown below.

Code:

vector<point> tmppts1(RevActSection.Points.rbegin(),RevActSection.Points.rend());

But i am getting this error while compiling:


D:\Backup_QI-287\GEConfidential\rajesh\Hitachi_runner_blade\cod e_runner_blade\RunnerBlade\defGeometry.cpp(97) : error C2664: '__thiscall std::vector<struct point,class std::allocator<struct point> >::std::vector<struct point,class std::allocator<str
uct point> >(unsigned int,const struct point &,const class std::allocator<struct point> &)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class std::reverse_iterator<struct point *,struct point,struct point &,struct point *,int>' to 'unsigned int'
No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called

How is RevActSection.Points declared?

RevActSection declaration:

Code:

Section RevActSection = ActionSide.Sections[i];
Section RevReActSection = ReactionSide.Sections[i];

RevActSection is object of strcture "Section"

Section declaration:

Code:

struct Section{
	char Name[256];
	int NumberOfPoints;
	std::vector <struct point> Points;
                    }

struct point{
	double pt[3];
                  };

I'm not sure. Can you place that code into a small program and see if it compiles. You could probably do it with just the code you've posted.

I'm wondering if changing the name of the point struct to something else would help.

I think there is some problem in settings of Visual Studio 6 or some support files may not be in place...................
Can this be a case?

It's possible, but I think another explanation is probably more likely. Have you moved that code to its own project? It shouldn't be that hard.

ya i have done that, but i am still having that problem..

Thing is this code is already completed succesfully in visual studio express edition 2005 & while transfering it to visual studio 6 i am having this problems..
