I have a macro:

+ Code Snippet

  #define DECLARE_TYPEDEFS(name)                     \
     typedef name*        name##_PTR;                \
     typedef name&        name##_REF;                \
     typedef const name   name##_CONST;              \
     typedef const name*  name##_CONST_PTR;          \
     typedef const name&  name##_CONST_REF;            

DECLARE_TYPEDEFS(INT);  // Note: INT is declared as:      
                        //    typedef int INT; within WinDef.h...

Until my latest update (VS2008-Pro), this worked just fine... After the update, I get the following message for INT, UINT, LONG, ULONG and DWORD.

Quote: "
jtk_common.h(446) : error C2040: 'INT_PTR' : 'INT *' differs in levels of indirection from '__w64 int'
"

Does anyone know how to alleviate this error or do I *have* to re-typedef the standard MS types to my own...?

I've already tried:

+ Code Snippet

  typedef unsigned long JTDWORD;
  DECLARE_TYPEDEFS(JTDWORD);

without errors, but would really rather *not* re-declare all of the *basic* types if I don't have to...

Any help wold be appreciated...

Well they're already defined so what do you expect to have to do? You can either undefine them and replace them with yours, not define theirs to begin with(by first defining _BASETSD_H_ by the looks of it), or keep theirs.

Also, you forgot 'name *const' and 'const name *const'
