Ambiguity between ‘_LARGE_INTEGER’ and ‘Webview2::_LARGE_INTEGER’

Problem :

During compilation of a legacy project I receive error messages. The project fails compilation.

[bcc32 Error] dxDirectX.D2D.Types.hpp(296): E2015 Ambiguity between '_LARGE_INTEGER' and 'Webview2::_LARGE_INTEGER'
[bcc32 Error] dxDirectX.D2D.Types.hpp(297): E2015 Ambiguity between '_LARGE_INTEGER' and 'Webview2::_LARGE_INTEGER'

[bcc32 Error] dxDirectX.D2D.Types.hpp(1227): E2015 Ambiguity between '_LARGE_INTEGER' and 'Webview2::_LARGE_INTEGER'

[bcc32 Error] dxDirectX.D2D.Types.hpp(1229): E2015 Ambiguity between '_LARGE_INTEGER' and 'Webview2::_LARGE_INTEGER'

I am not sure where to search for a solution. Can you please inform me?

Hello Dmitri,

This seems to be a problem that is caused by the new Microsoft Edge browser in the modern 10.4 Sydney IDE. Would you please check if replacing _LARGE_INTEGER to Windows::TLargeInteger in the dxDirectX.D2D.Types.hpp header file can help you overcome this problem?

I have the same problem in RAD Studio 10.4.2 with VCL Subcription 21.1.6.

Updating your header file to Windows::TLargeInteger did solve the problem. Will you update this in a future update?

Moving around ‘#include <SHDocVw.hpp>’ did not help for me.

Hello Brian,

Yes, we are planning to change our code in the dxDirectX.D2D.Types unit to avoid such errors.
