Of late I'm facing the issues that points finger to VC6 compiler.
Few of them are:
- A function-try-block doesn't work. Related Q
- in-class constant doesn't work.
- __FUNCTION_ (Macro to get function name) doesn't work
- The latest addition is it doesn't allow void functions to be passed as part of for_each.
The below example is not compiling with VC6 compiler. It says "error C2562: '()' : 'void' function returning a value". It looks like VC6 doesn't like void functions to be passed to for_each.
class Temp
{
public:
Temp(int i):m_ii(i)
{}
int getI() const
{
return m_ii;
}
void printWithVoid()
{
cout<< "i = "<<m_ii<<endl;
}
bool printWithBool()
{
cout<< "i = "<<m_ii<<endl;
return true;
}
private:
int m_ii;
};
int main(void)
{
std::vector<Temp> arrTempObjects;
arrTempObjects.push_back(Temp(0));
arrTempObjects.push_back(Temp(2));
//Doesnot work, compiler error
std::for_each(arrTempObjects.begin(), arrTempObjects.end(), std::mem_fun_ref(&Temp::printWithVoid));
//Works
std::for_each(arrTempObjects.begin(), arrTempObjects.end(), std::mem_fun_ref(&Temp::printWithBool));
return 0;
}
Have you faced any other issues related to VC6.0. Any workaround to resolve these issues ? Or is it time to change the compiler?
