compile time error

[RandallW]

I'm trying to convert a little C program into C++.&nbsp;&nbsp;One of<br>my enumerated types gives an error when the file is compiled;&nbsp;&nbsp;the 'flush' in it is being redefined ( according<br>to the compiler ); here it is....<br><br>enum win_result { loss = 0, jacks_or_better = 1, <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;two_pair = 2, three_of_a_kind = 3,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;straight = 4, flush = 5, full_house = 8,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;four_of_kind = 25, straight_flush = 50,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;royal_flush = 250 };&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi,<br><br>This is because the <br><br>ostream& flush(ostream&) <br><br>is defined in iostream.h.<br><br>Either do not include iostream.h or change the name of your enumeration.<br><br>It is always a good practice to add some prefix like my_flush to everything that you have defined, So that it never conflicts !<br><br>-Amol <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

So the term 'flush' is a reserved word?&nbsp;&nbsp;Agh! Dirty rotten <br>C++ *grumble*
