I’m working on getting a Visual C++ 2005 solution to compile in unicode. However, In some of my projects (but not all), I get errors in the form:

1>.\CBitFlags.cpp(25) : error C2065: 'L' : undeclared identifier

and the line of code in question is:

LOGERROR(UTILITY, L"Tried to use object to store %d flags, when max is %d",

I am BAFFLED. It seems to be treating L as an identifier when L is part of the language syntax. Does anyone know if there is some flag somewhere that has to be enabled in the project or compile settings that if not toggled would cause this? The really weird part is it isn’t all of the occurrences of this, it’s only some of them. It does seem to be consistent within a single project, but I have entire projects compiling fine, and others that fail miserably like this.

    The problem is almost certainly inside of the LOGERROR macro. Look at how it treats that second paramater. Expand the macro yourself, it is easy to overlook small errors in macros sometimes.
