I am having an error with my Visual Studio 2015 C++ project that occurs 39 times, which states:
C2872 'ACCESS_MASK': ambiguous symbol
My issue is that the 'files' in which these are occurring are all Windows files, such as:
winnt.h
winuser.h
winreg.h
The include section of one of the projects .h file is as follows:
#pragma once;
#include <opencv/cv.h>
#include <opencv/cxcore.h>
#include <opencv/highgui.h>
#include <opencv/cvaux.h>//Background modeling header files
#include "opencv2/imgcodecs.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc.hpp"
#include "opencv2/videoio.hpp"
#include <opencv2/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/video.hpp>
#include <windef.h>
using namespace cv;
and the other .h file has the following includes:
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <XnCppWrapper.h>//OpenNI
using namespace cv;
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std ;
Is there perhaps an error due to having "using namespace ..." more than once?
The only other error that I am encountering is also from the winnt.h file, I am not sure if it is related but have included it just in case, and it is as follows :
C1189 #error: "No Target Architecture"
I have tried changing around the included Windows files, as well as the using namespace cv, as some others have suggested, but have had no success.
Issue solved by removing all cases where :
using namespace cv
appeared. I did however have to add 'cv::' infront of all opencv related functions that had appeared in the code using the cv namespace.
The C1189 error was unrelated to this.
