What happened?

[Glenn Puchtel]

Are you compiling "release" or "debug"?  

A function defined in the body of a class declaration is an (implicit)
inline function.

I suspect that if you are compiling debug it might work because I
believe functions are not inline'd for debugging purposes.  In this case
the body of the operator is defined in address.cpp.  If you are
compiling release it may be assuming the body of the function already
exists, which it doesn't at the point the <= operator is being compiled.

Not sure if this helps, just an observation.  Like your friend, I have
no problem compiling using VC++7.0 and we have an earlier version of the
Agent++ libraries compiling using VC++ 6.0 and it does not demonstrate
these compilation errors.

My suspicions are that it is an inline issue in some form.  I might try
to update our VC++ 6.0 projects with the latest library code and see if
I can duplicate this problem.  Problem with that is time and I will have
to update the VC++ 6.0 project files with any new modules added to the
Agent++ libraries. 

Best Regards and good luck,
Glenn Puchtel

Hi, Jochen

Yes, I am using VC 6.0 on Win2000.
And there is no problem when another friend using VC 7.0.

So, is it impossible for VC 6.0 to correct these errors?
I can not change the compiler for some correlative reason.

Regards&thanks,
Robert
