Link error - std::locale::facet::_Register(void) when migrated the app from vc7 to vc9

Question

I am migrating my application from MSVS20003.Net to MSVS2008.  My application is depending on the "Reuters SFC C++"  thirdparty libs and got the below link errors. I am unable to resolve these errors. I am searched in google for the same and no use.
So please help me.

Answer 1

Please let me know how to solve the this link error std::locale::facet::_Register(void).

Is there any techniques/tips/tools/materials  for getting full knowledge on fixing the link errors in C++

Answer 2

I am not getting the above link error with the VC7 compiler. Why VC9 compiler giving the above link error.

Answer 3

I guess this is caused by the CRT version mismatching, I'm not familiar with "Reuters SFC C++"  thirdparty libs, you could ask the author for the VC9 version libs to take a try.

Sincerely,
Wesley

Answer 4

Hi All,

I am unable to resolve the above std::locale::facet::_Register(void) link errors. So I got the latest Reuters SFC 4.5.6 C++ libs from the thirdparty (which is compiled in MSVS2008) and integrated to  my application.

Initially I got the below compiler errors.

1>C:\DevLibs\Reuters\4.5.6\include\rtr/selectni.h(130) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier '_readSocketSet'
1>C:\DevLibs\Reuters\4.5.6\include\rtr/selectni.h (130) : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
1>C:\DevLibs\Reuters\4.5.6\include\rtr/selectni.h(133) : error C2079: 'RTRSelectNotifier::_timerExpirationTime' uses undefined struct 'timeval'
1>C:\DevLibs\Reuters\4.5.6\include\rtr/selectni.h(138) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'fd_set'
1>C:\DevLibs\Reuters\4.5.6\include\rtr/selectni.h(138) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
1>C:\DevLibs\Reuters\4.5.6\include\rtr/selectni.h(138) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before ';'

Solution :-
I resolved them by using the either of the below approaches.
C:\DevLibs\Reuters\4.5.6\include\rtr\selectni.h
         Added   -   #include <winsock2.h>   for _Win32 Macro 
OR

Add "x86_WindowsNT_5X " to the preprocessor list. (this is proper solution)

After that I got the below different link errors

>libsfc.lib(sslinterface.obj ) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _DACS_CsLock referenced in function "public: static int __cdecl RTRSSLInterface::convertPermDataToLock(class RTRString const &,class RTRString const &,long,struct ssl_Access_Control *,int)" (?convertPermDataToLock@RTRSSLInterface@@SAHABVRTRString@@0JPAUssl_Access_Control@@H@Z)

Solution:-
I resolved the above link errors by linking with dacs4w32.lib .

Now all compiler & link errors are resolved with the latest Reuters libs.

Once again thanks for every one who try to help me!
