compile error on wrong line

[bob]

Hello,

I use Microsoft Visual C++ .NET (version 7.1.3088)
Sometimes (with big codes?) when I get a compile error and click on the error, the cursor is placed next to the wrong piece of code. The line number in the error message and that of the cursor do match but the real error is somewhere else.
The same I get when debugging my code, the piece of code the cursor is at is no way the code that is actually debugged.
This is very frustating!

I re-compiled the complete project but this does not help!

Any suggestions?

Thanx in advance

Forgive me if these seem trivial questions, but are you talking about
misidentification a line or two away, or farther off than that? How big is
"big code", and is there any pattern to the type of code where this happens?

I've seen this happening when the code
has mixed line endings.
Thanx in advance

The code consists of 3 libs and 1 console application and has several ten thousand lines of code
Recently, I added some new *.h files. The errors (wrong compile line error and wrong debug line) only happen in the new part of the code
The compile error is typically 5 to 10 lines wrong
When debugging, whole shunks of new code are omitted

According to Schobi a reason could be "I've seen this happening when the code has mixed line endings." although I've no idea what mixed line endings are

I experience the same problem but with much "shorter" code (2 C files of about 400 lines each

What do you mean by "line endings

[Ronald Laeremans [MSFT]]

/r versus /n versus /r/n versus /n/r at the end of your lines of source.

Thanks,
It solved the proble

Bob,

I'v got the same problem

How did you correct the line endings?

I used an in-house tool.
However, I believe the IDe will correct
line endings when you save a file.

What I don't understand is how the problem first occurred.
Is it a cut and paste problem? I will continue to investigate!
It usually happens when you copy code between
platforms.
Thank you for your help.
