Hello visual studio 2008 dosent accept windows header defined len in Snmp.h, how to solve it

Question

Once again i have found microsoft visual studio 2008 bugg it dosent accept len from Snmp.h


error C2065: 'len' : undeclared identifier but lmao but this this header Snmp.h (where is defined len) should be default associated with windows.h, so now i added manually Snmp.h and still the visual studio 2008 says 'len' : undeclared identifier
But the funny thing is that if i right click on len and choose go to declaration it props me to the Snmp.h header and shows that len is declared there but compiler wont accept it ....

I tryed to compile the program with precompiled headers and without it but the compiler still ignores the windows defined len ...

Answer 1

I think that you might be taking your symptoms to mean something other than what they actually mean.
If you do not include "snmp.h" yourself in the source file that wants to use len...and you have not included "snmp.h" in the "stdafx.h" precompiled header file (Which should be included in the source file!), then you will get this message.

snmp.h is *not* included by including "windows.h"

If Intellisense is working, then...some file is including snmp.h, or it has been added to the project (Not at all the same thing!!!!!)

I think you need to show your cards this time.

Answer 2

This line gives the error where len is undeclared identifierr but all the include headers are added and len is there already defined i tryed to define len manually still not working it just wont accept it ...

stubLen

+= len;

well it  works fine on visual studio 2003 same settings...

Hello,

Are you talking about the struct SnmpVarBindList?

typedef struct {
    SnmpVarBind * list;
    UINT          len;
} SnmpVarBindList;

If so, the correct way is:
SnmpVarBindList svbl = {0, 0};
UINT stubLen = svbl.len;

If I misunderstand it, which "len" are you looking for?

Sincerely,
Wesley

Your post is incomplete. Post enough code to illustrate the line where the error occurs. Also, to make the post readable, use the "Insert Code Block" button. It's the icon next to "HTML" that looks like </>
