Why I'm getting these errors?

I executed my project and Visual Studio showed 20-ish syntax errors from stdio.h and string.h

I have not used these libraries. Also, how come they bring up errors? It's not like those library were user-made...

I'm not using them, I haven't modify them and they are from the compiler, they are supposed to work. What's wrong?

Create a blank new project, add a .cpp file and write this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
 
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

int main()
{
    return 0;
}

and build it.

Do you still get the same messages? If so you have some messed up project settings I'm guessing.

Any reason you are using <stdio.h>, and not <iostream>, and <string.> rather than <string>?

What does the global space of your code look like? You don't have a macro or a global variable named "endif" do you?

This might also happen if you are trying to use any POSIX headers or libs in your project.

These are considerations for after you run mutexe tests by the way. Most people don't poke around with their global settings though so I don't expect that to be the case.
