typedef signed char int8_t

[Jair Santos]

Hello all.

I ‘ve been trying to compile FreeCad and came across the following error:

Error 422 error C2371: 'int8_t' : redefinition; different basic types c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\stdint.h 17 1 SketcherGui

This error occur more than 300 times and it is related to the following line typedef signed char int8_t; which exist in the stdint.h. As you can see stdint.h is a MSVC 10 file.

In one of the files where this error occur the line is

InputStream& operator >> (int8_t& ch);


I tried to google the error but couldn’t find anything useful.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

TIA

You need to post the exact error. Somewhere in there it'll tell you where the duplicates are.

int8_t is defined in stdint.h, but it's a recent addition to the Microsoft compiler, so the code may define it's own. Check if there's some kind of gate to skip the declaration.

Thank you.

What do you mean by the exact error?

I thought that I already posted it
