C and C++ don't mix, Something wrong with my header?

[ssndk123]

Hi,

I'm trying to include some C functions from IOPort.h/cpp to my C++
program.. i placed the IOPort.h into stdafx, but when I try to
compile i get the errors like: ioport.h(8) : error C2065: 'UINT' :
undeclared identifier. So, the Visual Studio 2005 compiler doesn't
know what UNIT is?

Am I doing something wrong? I attached my code below.

I'd appreciate any help..

Thanks,
Soren

-------------------------------------------------
stdafx.h:
-------------------------------------------------
#pragma once

#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT // Allow use of features specific to Windows XP
or later.
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501 // Change this to the appropriate value to
target other versions of Windows.
#endif

#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include "IOPort.h"

-----------------------------------------------
IOPort.h:
------------------------------------------------
#ifndef IOPORTH
#define IOPORTH

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

void outport(UINT portid, UINT value);
void outportb(UINT portid, BYTE value);
BYTE inportb(UINT portid);
UINT inport(UINT portid);
BOOL StartUpIoPorts(UINT PortToAccess, BOOL bShowMessageBox, HWND
hParentWnd);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

#endif

---------------------------------------------------
testmain:
----------------------------------------------------
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
char i;
cout << "Hello World!!";
cin >i;
return 0;
}

No compiler knows what "UINT" (or "UNIT") is, unless you tell them.
If you expect 'UINT' ('UNIT') to play a role of a type, you need to
include a header (most likely) that has the 'typedef' in it or do
it yourself, like so

typedef unsigned UINT;

Your code contains too much compiler-specific elements, perhaps the
'microsoft.public.vc.language' newsgroup is a better place to ask?

That's because it's declared in the windows.h header, or one that it
includes. Pretty sure anyway.

Make sure ioport.h is included after this. That will fix your immediate
problem. Then as was said, ask vc specific questions in a vc newsgroup.
