Sounds like the file is not being compiled as C++ (is it .cpp?) and/ or some features of C++ need to be turned on.

There is an option for C++ run-time type info, which (I imagine) you'll need ON for the type_info to work, though I believe it's on by default. The option is GCC_ENABLE_CPP_RTTI, look in the project & target settings under GNU C++ Compiler 4.0>Language. I'm guessing that including typeinfo.h is a good idea too..

Also check it's being compiled as C++ by doing a get info on the file (in the Xcode project), General tab, file type should be sourcecode.cpp.cpp.

have fun...

I am just getting back into programming so am a bit rusty on some things, but this just seems bizarre. I am trying to build a C++ Command Line app, as that seems the closes to a plain
C++ program without all the user interface stuff. I am trying to include some code from a book C++ Algorthyms for DSP. In it there is the following function:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////
//
// convType( const type_info& ti )
// Converts C++ run-time type information to C DSP_FILE
//
// Returns:
// Enumerated C DSP_FILE type (see DSPFILETYPE above)
//
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////
// error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'type_info' with no type
inline DSPFILETYPE convType( const type_info &ti )
{
// Convert type to C DSP_FILE type
if( ti == typeid( unsigned char ) ) return UNSIGNED_CHAR;
else if( ti == typeid( signed char ) ) return SIGNED_CHAR;
else if( ti == typeid( unsigned short ) ) return UNSIGNED_SHORT;
else if( ti == typeid( signed short ) ) return SIGNED_SHORT;
else if( ti == typeid( unsigned long ) ) return UNSIGNED_LONG;
else if( ti == typeid( signed long ) ) return SIGNED_LONG;
else if( ti == typeid( float ) ) return FLOAT;
else if( ti == typeid( double ) ) return DOUBLE;


	// Additional types for C++
	else if( ti == typeid( unsigned int ) ) return UNSIGNED_INT;
	else if( ti == typeid( signed int ) ) return SIGNED_INT;
	else if( ti == typeid( Complex ) ) return COMPLEX;

	return UNKNOWN_TYPE;
}

This causes the compiler to complain:"error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'type_info' with no type." on the line DSPFILETYPE convType(
This does not appear to be a declaration to me. In addition, in one of my C++ books I see this exact usage. I am at a loss to figure out why.
In the original code, which was I admit written to compile under Visuall C++, there was an include for #include <typeinfo.h> which caused the compiler to barf, so I removed it.
Is there an equivalent that I need to include ?


I also am getting errors on the declaration fstream m_fs. it says "error: 'fstream' does not declare a type. I see this exact type of declaration in my C++ book, and I cannot
see anything in the headers that contradict it.


I am baffled by these errors.
