Bizzare error this ... compiling with VC++ 2008 Pro.

I have set up a standard Win32 project to build all alglib files with precompiled headers etc. It all builds nicely with /W4. Typical command line is:

cl /Od /D "WIN32" /D "NDEBUG" /D "_LIB" /D "_UNICODE" /D "UNICODE" /FD /EHsc /MT /Gy /Yu"stdafx.h" /Fp"Profile\alglib.pch" /Fo"Profile\\" /Fd"Profile\vc90.pdb" /W4 /c /Zi /TP .\ap.cpp

Now, when compiling code which #includes dataanalysis.h I get the following error:

u:\vs2008\VC\include\setjmp.h(256) : error C2059: syntax error : '...'
u:\vs2008\VC\include\setjmp.h(256) : warning C4297: 'longjmp' : function assumed not to throw an exception but does

I have no idea why. Same flags etc. The work-around (serious hack) is this:

In ap.h

// JME
#define SETJMP_HACK
#ifdef SETJMP_HACK
#define jmp_buf void
#else
#include <setjmp.h>
#endif

In ap.cpp

// JME
#ifdef SETJMP_HACK
#ifdef jmp_buf
#undef jmp_buf
#endif
#include <csetjmp>
#endif

Any clues on this most welcome.

Thx++

Can you post your project files? I can't reproduce this behavior with my installation of MSVC 2008 and project created by me...

Hello Sergey

Thanks, I will assemble the smallest possible project which demonstrates the problem and upload.
