[c++] 'uint32_t' identifier not found error

I'm porting code from Linux C to Visual C++ for windows.

Visual C++ doesn't know #include <stdint.h> so I commented it out.

Later, I found a lot of those 'uint32_t': identifier not found errors. How can it be solved?

I had to run project in VS2010 and I could not introduce any modifications in the code. My solution was to install vS2013 and in VS2010 point VC++ Directories->IncludeDirectories to Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include. Then my project compiled without any issues.

On Windows I usually use windows types. To use it you have to include <Windows.h>.

In this case uint32_t is UINT32 or just UINT.

All types definitions are here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383751%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Boost.Config offers these typedefs for toolsets that do not provide them natively. The documentation for this specific functionality is here: Standard Integer Types

There is an implementation available at the msinttypes project page - "This project fills the absence of stdint.h and inttypes.h in Microsoft Visual Studio".

I don't have experience with this implementation, but I've seen it recommended by others on SO.

You can #include <cstdint>. It's part of C++-standard since 2011.

I have the same error and it fixed it including in the file the following

#include <stdint.h>

at the beginning of your file.
