[aspectc-user] Compiling problems with Visual Studio

[Timo Lehtinen]

Hello! I've read about aspect-oriented programming some years ago and I was
interested in it, but at the time AspectC++ was still in beginning state.
Now we'd really like to add tracing etc. to our current projects (with
Visual Studio add-in by pure-systems) but we encountered compiling problems
- I'd be glad to have some info whether this can be fixed by editing
project/sources or is this a known parsing bug.

 

In our project we use STL and ATL, so that includes a lot of templates. I
got the following error messages when I tried to compile with tracing
example as an active aspect:

Compiling...

The system cannot find the file specified.

generating includes ...

token `selectany'

AspectC++ generating includes failed

 

In that aspect we tried to add tracing to all functions. When we tried to
add tracing to only one free function compiling and linking succeeded. I
also tried to add tracing to all functions with VS's wizard-generated MFC
example project and it succeeded. I even tried to add some STL map things to
test whether this behaviour is related to template parsing, but it also
succeeded. When I tried to add tracing to VS's wizard-generated ATL example
project (DLL), compiling failed. Is there any workarounds for this
behaviour?
