Is the 'interface' keyword an MS C++ extension?
Just wondering if the ''interface'' keyword is standard C++ or if it''s an MS extension to the language.
As far as I know
interface is a Java keyword, and never in my years have I ever seen it used in C++. To this extent I''d say it was an MS extension if you''ve seen it used.
I was going to say am\lmost the exact same thing. interface is a Pascal/Delphi keyword, but I''ve never heard of it being in C++.
I see it alot in COM object headers. It is probably #defined somewhere in one of the COM or ATL headers.
interface is a #define for struct (or struct FAR) that is declared in BaseTyps.h and ObjBase.h in the Windows Platform SDK.
In MS vc++, its more than a #define, because it changes to blue just like other keywords do.
Doesn''t mean it''s a keyword, just that they chose to highlight it. You can highlight your own name if you like. I think the file to alter is usertypes.dat or something like that.
