E2178 VIRDEF name conflict for 'function' (C++)

Go Up to Compiler Errors And Warnings (C++) Index

The compiler must truncate mangled names to a certain length because of a name length limit that is imposed by the linker. This truncation may (in very rare cases) cause two names to mangle to the same linker name. If these names happen to both be VIRDEF names, the compiler issues this error message. The simplest workaround for this problem is to change the name of 'function' so that the conflict is avoided.
