c++ compiler Error

[boon21]

Hello
I have a cide that my friend wrote on unix.
When i compile it in windows XP I have a ompiler error c2374: edefinition; multiple initialization,
This erroris about is about this line of the code:
for (int pp=5; pp <= 11; pp++).
My compiler is microsoft visual c++.
Does anyone knows how to solve this?
Thanks

Difficult to know without more details. Some hints:

- The error doesn't need to be necessarily on that line
- Check that there's no other pp variable defined.

Cheers,
Dian

Hi
Thanks for your replay.
Which more details are required?

What's your VC++ version? VC++ 6.0 is not standard-compliant: it treats declarations in for() in function level, so it can't compile good standard code

for (int i = ...;...;...)
{
... loop #1 body ...
}
// Alas, i declared here in VC++ 6.0
for (int i = ...) // VC++ 6.0 says i redefinition...
... loop #2 body ...

Some routes around it - you normally have to do this when switching between compliant and non-compliant compilers. You will find that many of the older Unix compilers (eg Solaris 5.6) are also non compliant.

1) declare i outside the loop - this is the easier one but it leads to the habit of using i outside the loop.
2) Put the for loops in yet another pair of {} - looks messy but it is effectively what the standard compliant version is doing.

Give me please a name of a standard-compliant

If you're using Windows: get Visual C++ 7.0 or higher.
You can download Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition here:

If you're using UNIX: get the latest version of GCC.
You can download GCC here:
