Wrong group (comp.lang.c) on two counts, C++ and windows.

Try a VC++ group.

I can only guess that this means you have disabled exception handling in
your compiler.

May 3 '06 #3
you mean, there can not be a c/c++ compiler in windows, other than
vc++?

May 3 '06 #4
no.

"cl test1.cpp" fails with many errors but "cl /EHsc test1.cpp" compiles
fine.

Your original post (which you should quote, by the way) showed output
from some microsoft compiler or another, that's why I suggested asking
on one of their groups.

1. There is no such thing as "C/C++". C and C++ are two distinct languages.
2. Exception handling is C++ specific, since C doesn't support it, so
comp.lang.c has nothing to do with it.
3. Questions about compilers or system specific ones are off-topic in
comp.lang.c++ either, because this group is only about the C++ language
itself, not about any specific tools.

So you should find a newsgroup about your specific compiler (VC++) and ask
the question there.

So find an appropriate microsoft group and ask there. That's where the
users of the compiler will be able to help you.

Please provide context when replying. See the section about Google in
http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/Intro_to_clc

Your original message clearly indicated you were using MS VC++ hence the
redirection to a group for that compiler when you ask something about
the compiler. The language itself does not define compiler options.

Not in anything you posted in your original question. You said
it was that, you did not quote any *error message* that said it was.

The error message that you -did- quote started with:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\include\ostream(574)

which clearly indicates VC++, and hence suggesting that you look
in a VC++ group was exactly appropriate.
If you were to google on "unwind semantics are not enabled"
then you would find your answer easily. In particular, see
http://www.geocities.com/Jeff_Louie/...ms.htm#Warning

Or if you prefer the more authorative saying of the same thing,

Questions about the C++ programming language should never be posted to
<news:comp.lang.c>. Some of the folks at <news:comp.lang.c++> may offer
you an answer, but they are misguided. Questions about
implementation-specific details, such as yours, should go to a
newsgroup, mailing list, or tech support for your implementation.
Microsoft has provided several of these for you, nad there are others
independent of MS. Use them.

<news:comp.lang.c> removed from follow-ups. Perhaps the remaining
newsgroup to which you posted should also be removed: I'll leave that to
others.

The error message says it all...

You are using C++ exceptions in your code, but by default,
support for C++ exceptions is disabled in the compiler.
As directed by the error message, you must add the

/EHsc

compiler option to your compile command line to tell the
compiler to enable support for C++ exceptions.

Its some feature of your compiler. Did you read the documentation or
search the maker's website?

On second thoughts, why not ask in uk.lang.semantics, then insult
people who suggest you ask in the right place?

Microsoft's compiler, although one of the most standard-conforming when
you provide appropriate switches, has completely non-standard behavior
/by default/.

By default you have (1) no exception handling, (2) no RTTI, (3) no
wchar_t type, (4) non-standard scope for variables declared in for loops
and while loops, (5) standard 'main' not supported for GUI program.

Check the compiler's command line help info for appropriate switches;
direct further questions to some Microsoft group.

can you explain (4)?

is that:
for(int i=1; i; --i);
{
int me=i;
}

now - there's something wrong with 'me'?

Here there's "something wrong" with 'me'...

A conforming compiler will not allow that.

Ah. I think VC6 has this "feature". I don't like this. Really annoying
when you write:

for(int i=0;;)
{
}

for (int 0=;;)
{
}

and get an error! How can I turn this off?

You can't, VC6 is well known to be broken with respect to variable scope.

Time to upgrade and move on!

There's just not much you can do about it. If you need to have code
that is portable between VC6 and others then you have two options:

1. Use a different loop control variable name for each loop that's at
the same level:

for (int Index1 = 0; . . . )
for (int Index2 = 0; . . . )

2. Declare a common loop control variable in the enclosing block:

int Index;

for (Index = 0; . . . )
for (Index = 0; . . . )
Relying on the VC6 bug is a bad idea, as it breaks the code as soon as
you compile it elsewhere. The standard way breaks in VC6.

Well, there was that hack to make the standard way work with it, too. I
think it was something like:

#define for if (false); else for

I believe another workaround was to enclose the entire 'for' loop in its
own block:
// stuff
{
for (int i = 0; . . . ) {
// do stuff in loop
}
}
// i is now out of scope here
