This article was previously published under Q95198 SYMPTOMS
An attempt to compile an application that changes the definition of
the "new" operator to DEBUG_NEW fails and the compiler generates the
following message:
error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'p'
CAUSE
The statement "#define new DEBUG_NEW" precedes an IMPLEMENT_SERIAL or an
IMPLEMENT_DYNACREATE macro call.
RESOLUTION
Modify the source code to place the DEBUG_NEW definition after all
statements that call the IMPLEMENT_SERIAL or IMPLEMENT_DYNCREATE
macros. For more information, see Chapter 15 of the Microsoft Visual
C++ "Class Library User's Guide."
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior has changed for Visual C++ version 4.0. However, if you build
an application that makes use of DEBUG_NEW with Visual C++ 4.0, and then
attempt to build that application in Visual C++ version 2.x, you will need
to move the #define DEBUG_NEW as discussed above.
