Here are the primary Visual C++ keywords. You can't give functions or variables the same names as any of these keywords.

The following are keywords in Microsoft C and C++. Names with leading underscores are Microsoft extensions. You can't use any C keywords in a C++ program.

C Language Keywords:

__asm	__fastcall	__self
auto	float	__segment
__based	for	__segname
break	__fortran	short
case	goto	signed
__cdecl	__huge	sizeof
char	if	static
const	__inline	struct
continue	int	switch
default	__interrupt	typedef
do	__loadds	union
double	long	unsigned
else	__near	void
enum	__pascal	volatile
__export	register	while
extern	return
__far	__saveregs

C++ Language Keywords:

..catch	operator	try
class	private	virtual
delete	protected	__multiple_inheritance
friend	public	__single_inheritance
inline	this	__virtual_inheritance
new	throw

The following are not keywords, but they have special meaning in Microsoft C++:

argc	envp	_setenvp
argv	main	_set_new_handler
__emit	_setargv

---

The catch, template, throw, and try keywords are reserved for future versions of C++.
