Well, I've tried everything, and still I am no closer to finding out what the problem is.
I re-installed Labwindows and that didn't make an ounce of difference. I still get the same error message: "stdlibex.h"(27,18) Invalid type specification." The thing is, I don't think I use any of the functions in this library in my code. And I don't have the stdlibex.h file included in my project anywhere. Yet it still complains about this one line every time I try to compile.
Here is what I have discovered so far:
The following is the contents of the stdlibex.h file:
/*============================================================================*/
/* L a b W i n d o w s / C V I */
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* Copyright (c) National Instruments 1987-1999. All Rights Reserved. */
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* */
/* Title: stdlibex.h */
/* Purpose: Include file for CVI specific extensions of ANSI Standard C */
/* library functions and macros of general purpose utility. */
/* */
/*============================================================================*/
#ifndef _STDLIBEX
#define _STDLIBEX
#include "cvidef.h"
#include "cvirte.h"
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
int CVIANSI _putenv(const char *);
__int64 CVIANSI atoi64(const char *);
__int64 CVIANSI strtol64(const char *, char **, int);
unsigned __int64 CVIANSI strtoul64(const char *, char **, int);
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
#endif
The only line it complains about is the line in red. If I comment out the entire line, it compiles. If I un comment the line and delete the word "unsigned" from the front of the line, it still works. If I keep the word unsigned, and delete the word "__int64", it still compiles. If I keep the entire line the same and only delete the word "CVIANSI", it compliles again. The only time it does NOT complie is when I keep the entire line exactly the way it is (shown above in red).
So it seems that it does not like the fact that there are 3 separate type identifiers before the function name strtoul64(...). Has anyone else ever experienced this ?
Thanks,
