Hi,
I have got "error C2371: 'size_t' : redefinition; different basic
types" while porting to WIN64.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Alex

Well, the include file sourceannotations.h says that size_t is 64 bits
(unsigned __int64). The compiler says that it is not!

Let me guess that you are actually not using the 64-bit compiler. :-)
