Code::Blocks/Borland Compiler 5.5/ cout << stringVar error [solved]

(1/3) > >>

Joe:
Greeting All!

Code::Blocks is exactly what I was looking for, and you guys did a great job!
I have an issue with a simple C++ program, using a string variable. Below, I have included the code from a file named StringTest.cpp:

----------- Code: StringTest.cpp -----------------------

1.  #include <iostream>
2.  #include <string>
3.  
4.  int main()
5.  {
6.      using namespace std;
7.  
8.      string aName = "Hello World";
9.      cout << "Hello World\n" << endl;
10.     cout << aName;
11.
12.     return 0;
13. }

--------------------------------------------------------

The program builds with no errors or warnings. Below I have included the ouput from the build:


-------------- Build: Debug in StringWork ---------------

bcc32.exe -q -w -x  -v    -IC:\Borland\BCC55\Include  -oobj\Debug\StringTest.obj -c StringTest.cpp
StringTest.cpp:
ilink32.exe -q -ap -v  -LC:\Borland\BCC55\lib -LC:\Borland\BCC55\lib\psdk  c0x32 obj\Debug\StringTest.obj ,bin\Debug\StringWork.exe,,cw32mt.lib import32.lib ,,
Output size is 119.50 KB
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings
 
---------------------------------------------------------

When I run the executable from within Code::Blocks (or by just double clicking the .exe file) I first get an error from Windows that says:

-------------- Error: Windows XP Home SP3----------------

StringWork.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.

---------------------------------------------------------

Then the console, started by Code::Blocks, displays:

------------- Information: Code::Blocks 10.05 -----------

Process returned -1073741819 (0xC0000005)   execution time : 12.344  s
Press any key to continue.

---------------------------------------------------------

If I comment out line 10 [cout << aName;], the program compiles and runs as expected.


OS: Windows XP Home SP3
Code::Blocks: 10.05
Compiler: Borland 5.5, 5.82 (sp1, sp2)

Thank you for your help.

stahta01:
Correction, your code fails the C::B sample code works; your C++ code has a problem and BCC 5.1 has a bug.

The C::B sample code Works for me using C::B 10.05 and Borland 5.5

I saw no difference from your build log; my Borland installation is in "C:\GreenApps\BCC55".

OS Windows 7 32 Bit; I have some of the Win 7 security turned off.

--- End code ---

--- Code: ---using namespace std;

--- End code ---

The using must NOT be inside a function; BCC 5.5 has a bug. I suggest using a newer Compiler.
The fixed code worked OK using BCC 6.1.

This IS NOT an Code::Blocks issue; this thread is likely to be locked.

Joe:
Thank you for your quick response Tim.

1.) The code sample I posted compiles and runs perfectly from the command line.
2.) Based on your second response, I have moved [using namespace std;] to below the includes and above the [int main()] declaration.

Recompiling the program and running produces the same error as previously described.

Which forum should this be posted in Tim?

Are you sure, it works from the Command line running the exact same command to Compile and Link?
It FAILS the same way for me on the command line.

If it is a compiler bug, you need to find a site that supports the Compiler!
