    Debugging error c2059

    I am adding to a large code base, and there is far too much code to
    paste it in its entirety. Here is some code that I added:

    struct MyStruct
    {
    MyStruct(const std::string& SomeString, const std::string&
    AnotherString)
    {

    }

    };

    MyStruct("SomeW ord", "AnotherWor d");


    Of course, the above code is not particularly useful. I was following
    the technique of making it as simple as possible to try and see what
    was triggering the error.

    The compiler complains about MyStruct("SomeW ord", "AnotherWor d");
    Referring to the line number where the above line occurs, it says
    error C2059: syntax error : 'string'
    Can anyone explain the probable cause of the error?

    Thank you all very much for your help.

      Yes. You didn't include <string>


      Correct code:

      #include <string>
      struct MyStruct
      {
      MyStruct(const std::string& SomeString, const std::string&
      AnotherString)
      {

      }

      };

      MyStruct("SomeW ord", "AnotherWor d");

          Good guess but in fact I did use #include <string>
          Thanks a lot for trying to help though.

          Any more guesses?

              Correct code is actually:
              struct MyStruct
              {
              MyStruct(const std::string& SomeString, const std::string&
              AnotherString)
              {


              }



              };


              MyStruct YouHaveToGiveTh eMyStructVariab leAName("SomeWo rd",
              "AnotherWor d");

                  Guesses are all you're going to get. The posted code (with <string>) is
                  fine.

                  Try and form a complete example that gives the reported compiler error
                  and post that.
