Operator new needs curly braces () for array

[TheBeardedQuack]

Right well I've got this error and I don't know where to go from here because I can't find out how to get rid of it.
I'm afraid I don't actually know where the error is coming from so I can't just paste a single function or such, but would anyone be so kind as to try and help me find it in this rather large mess I've created?

Exact Error:

error C2075: 'Target of operator new()' : array initialization needs curly braces
File: {install-src-dir}\xmemory0
Line: 606
Column: 1

There are 2 files directly involved and I've had the error since before adding Registry.h but basically the Data namespace is the base of all data handling with my program and also provides a base class (Filed) for everything to derive from, it's an abstract class and hence forces definition of required functions for the child classes.

Thanks for any help.

Have to add some defines so the line numbers are a little off

Strange how come none of those appear on my compiler log, I can fix most of them quite easily and I'll let you know when I've updated the files...
Not sure why 'uint' isn't recognised as a type though?!

for(bool b=false, uint i=0;
Not sure why 'uint' isn't recognised as a type though?!

Assuming it is defined as a type, this still isn't a syntactically-valid declaration, same as in a program like

int main()
{
    bool b = false, int i = 0; // error
}

[TheBeardedQuack]

Right, well that's new to me.. Anything in a for loop must be same type?

[Cubbi]

Every name introduced in the same declaration (regardless if it's in a for loop or not) must have the same type, or be modified from the same type by applying pointer-to, reference-to, array-of, and function-returning declarators, or a combination of those.

You can write int n, m, *p, arr[10]; for example (although it would look silly in the init clause of for loop), but you can't declare an int and a bool in the same declaration.

Okay I've fixed the errors which you've pointed out (thanks) and the files under that link have been updated, but I'm still getting only that one error about the new operator needing curly braces:

*Bump*, Any ideas? I'm still stumped

You may not contain a C-array in a vector. (Although you could probably work std::array.)

[ne555]

The problem is that you are lying, that is not the code that you are compiling.

I receive errors about misplaced semicolons, undeclared variables, undeclared functions, bad function callings...
Also

#include <system_header>
#include "local_header" 

Another possibility is that your compiler is pure crap and it's crashing.

Nah. The code he's using will cause the error, but it looks like he isn't posting the full text of the error. He's posting what it would show in the "Error List" in VS, which is an abbreviated version of the actual compiler output. If he checked the actual output (which is typically a tab in the same window as the "Error List") he would get something a bit more informative.

The following:

#include <vector>

int main()
{
    std::vector<int[2]> v;

    int n[2];
    v.push_back(n);
}

results in:

YYYEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH.... Okay thanks guys!!!

I went in search for the output (and fount the above) and I've also learned that vectors cant be setup for arrays like that XD

But thanks to everyone that's helped... I've got rid of the array and I've fixed my code and it compiles fine... THANKS
