Build error cstdlib

[beuleuppeup]

Hi,

Until yesterday, my projects were working fine (using Visual studio express 2008). Since then I have a "small" problem, it seems that I can't build anything when including any header remotely close to the standard library. I have uninstalled Visual studio express and installed the Pro version (twice..), but I still have the same problem.

For example, I can't even build this :

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void main()
{
}

It always does the two same errors:

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\cstdlib(26) : error C2039: 'exit' : is not a member of '`global namespace''
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\cstdlib(26) : error C2873: 'exit' : symbol cannot be used in a using-declaration


That's it, I don't really know what I can do to fix this.. By the way, it seems to work if I comment the line causing the errors in cstdlib, but I don't think it is a good solution to do so..

Anyway, if anyone can help me on this... :)

Have you inadvertently change a system header file?

Well, the only thing I did except than working on my projects, is trying to build some code I found here :

But reinstalling Visual Studio shouldn't overwrite all header files ?

Yes.

You should be aware that the code you posted isn't valid C++.
