I have some C++ code that includes a method called CreateDirectory(). Previously the code only used STL and Boost, but I recently had to include <windows.h> so I could look-up CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA.
Now, this code:
filesystem.CreateDirectory(p->Pathname()); // Actually create it... No longer compiles:
error C2039: 'CreateDirectoryA' : is not a member of ... Which corresponds to this macro in winbase.h:
#ifdef UNICODE #define CreateDirectory CreateDirectoryW #else #define CreateDirectory CreateDirectoryA #endif // !UNICODE The pre-processor is redefining my method call. Is there any possible way to avoid this naming collision? Or do I have to rename my CreateDirectory() method?

Yes, it would work. (Disregarding the problem with underscores that others have pointed out.) Directive #include "MyClass. h" just copies the whole content of file MyClass.
stddef. h is a header file in the standard library of the C programming language that defines the macros NULL and offsetof as well as the types ptrdiff_t, wchar_t, and size_t.
You will be better off if you just rename your CreateDirectory method. If you need to use windows APIs, fighting with Windows.h is a losing battle.
Incidently, if you were consistent in including windows.h, this will still be compiling. (although you might have problems in other places).
