Try supplying a complete compileable sample that produces the error. The
three lines you have supplied compile fine with both VC++ 2002 and Comeau
online.

I don't know if this will help, but here's the full function. However, to
provide enough context to make it fully compileable would draw in thousands
of lines of code. So, this is the best I can do, but I understand if it's
not enough context and doesn't help... (BTW my platform is VC++ 7.1, but I
suppose that shouldn't matter; famous last words...)

Try sticking an #undef find before this line. The line looks fine, could be some joker

That actually was the problem! Man, I could just scream trying to maintain
the code base for the project I'm on. This is the most God-awful piece of
programming I've ever seen, and there are 300,000 lines of this nonsense!
The programmers that did this and the managers that allowed this and

summarily executed...
Thanks, I think you just saved my sanity! (But it's doomed eventually anyway
since I'll have to continue to work on this project!)

Ron made a great call here. It goes to show you why I hate C macros so much.
As BS once commented, they make what the compiler sees different from what
you see. How can that be good?

Maybe the compiler doesn't recognize the same dialect that you want
to speak. I agree that macros can be abused, and the OP has presented
an extreme case of such abuse. But the irony is that C++ has spawned
so many dialects over the past decade that implementors *must* make
extensive use of the preprocessor to cope.

Nope, I looked up the error in the Microsoft docs. Then I thought about how the
above syntax could gag on the '\t' or 0 literals and the only way I could think of was
if find() were NOT a function.

Hello,
Could someone explain to me why the Standard conveners chose to typedef
std::string rather than derive it from std::basic_string<char, ...>?
The result of course is that it is effectively impossible to forward declare
std::string. (Yes I am aware that some libraries have a string_fwd.h header,
but this is not portable.)
That said, is there any real reason why I can't derive an otherwise empty

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
