The Mysteries of cout
August 09, 2002 03:54 AM
I seem to have encountered a problem with "cout<<". When I compiled a simple "hello world" program (which usually works fine), i get the following error message:
D:\Tom''s Work\..blah..blah..blah..\main.cpp(7) : error C2872: ''cout'' : ambiguous symbol
?
I don''t have a clue what its talking about!!!

Maybe you forgot to include or to link with something?

try
std::cout << "Hello world" << std::endl;
or
using namespace std;
cout << "Hello world" << endl;
std::cout << "Hello world" << std::endl;
or
using namespace std;
cout << "Hello world" << endl;

The code used the include files (.cpp and .h) files which I downloaded using links from "my first C program" on this forum. "function.h" and "function.cpp". These could probably be checked out but Chris Vogel seemed to use them with cout ok.

I had no problem with them, and every .H file I used has an inclusion guard. I was using MSVC++ 6, but not sure if that makes a difference or not.
Just make sure that you have all your source files included in the program, only .h files #included. and any .h file that you do include should have an inclusing guard.(#ifndef...#define...headerstuff...#endif).
If cout is still giving you trouble,
make sure you''ve #included "iostream" (with greaterthan/lessthan signs). and use the "using namespace std;" line.
Not sure what your problem could be!

Thanks mate.
The headers referenced but my source referenced . It runs OK now. Thanks again for the functions. Now I can use them I should be able to write some pretty powerful console code.
How is Tetris coming along?

Well... I''ve been busy at work, so I haven''t got a lot of chance to work on it... That and I''m playing Neverwinter Nights which is getting addicting =)
I''m trying to decide on HOW I want to structure it. I started off using just basic structured code, then thought it might be good to try an OO approach. Still haven''t decided, so I don''t have much code wrote. It will probably take me a good week at least, if I stick with it.
