GetMessage() of AWSError class is hidden by Windows preprocessor statement

[dkarantonis]

Hi,

i am trying to use the following code:
std::cout << "Error while putting Object " << putObjectOutcome.GetError().GetExceptionName() << " " << putObjectOutcome.GetError().GetMessage() << std::endl;
to print a possible error after PutObjects fails, but GetMessage is hidden by system WinUser.h preprocessor statement:
#define GetMessage GetMessageW

In order for this to work, i have used the following workaround before calling AWSError GetMessage():
#undef GetMessage
and then the compiler recognizes the AWSError GetMessage() correctly.

Do you have any better solution to propose on this?

thanks,
Dimitris

I'm not giving windows the satisfaction of changing a perfectly good function name just because they don't have a good way of handling unicode. ;) We just undef if.

Ok, thanks!

For future searches and assist, a very similar issue exists, with similar fix, for GetObject

GetObject in the Aws::Utils::Outcome and Aws::S3::Model::GetObjectResult codepath can conflict with the GetObject macro that is loaded by windows.h (cascades to wingdi.h)

The workaround is the same: #undef GetObject

This is how my include appears:

#include <windows.h>
#undef GetMessage                       // workaround for AWSError method GetMessage()
#undef GetObject                        // workaround for Aws::S3::S3Client::GetObject
