confusing error message
Author
hello everyone,
I don''t understand this problem. The compiler reports an error, but I can''t fix it. Basically, in the header file, I include the line "ofstream logFile"
I need my log file to output to a file. But I keep getting the following error. Any ideas anyone? I can''t see the problem!
Any suggestions much appreciated,
- Thankyou in advance, kind reagrds
#pragma once
#include <string.h>
...
class CLog
{
public:
CLog();
~CLog(void);
.... // the usual stuff
private:
....
ofstream logFile; <--- error message refers to this line
};
This is the error message:
c:\demo\Log.h(48): error C2079: ''CLog::logFile'' uses undefined class ''std::basic_ofstream<_Elem,_Traits>''
with
[
_Elem=char,
_Traits=std::char_traits
]
Well, did you #include <fstream.h> ?

yes, when i included that at the top of the file I received the following error.
/*
* Warning C4995, ''_OLD_IOSTREAMS_ARE_DEPRECATED'' is a deprecated name, is
* being issued because the old I/O Streams headers iostreams.h et al will no
* longer be supported from VC8. Replace references such as #include
* with #include <iostreams>, using the new, more conformant, I/O
* Streams headers.
*/
Fair enough, since I''m using VC8. However, even when i use
#include <iostream>
I still get an error message referring to the same line as before.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it still doesnt work :-(

what i said didn't help? did it change anything? or do you still get exactly the same error message? that's weird...
here's my CLog class, see if you can get anything from it...
