Couldn't found cstdio.h

Question

All, Forgive I am a newbie in the C++ world , I was finding a copy file source code here.

The first sample in the post used the ANSI C libary. So I would like to test this sample in my computer. But I found in my c++ project there is error says Can not open the source file cstdio.h. And I didn't found it in my c: disk. Should I need to install the windows sdk? BTW. My project is a WDK project. thanks.

@PlasmaHH: It's entirely possible that an implementation maps `` to a file `cstdio.h`. I don't know what you could learn from such a search. — MSalters, Sep 06 '13 at 10:16
Yes , My code is `#include ` . and I already searched `cstdio.h` in my system disk. not found it . thanks. — Joe.wang, Sep 06 '13 at 15:18
I found the reason , After I installed the Windows SDK, now I can found the `cstdio.h` in my c disk. thanks. — Joe.wang, Sep 07 '13 at 01:49

Make sure your code says #include <cstdio> and not #include <cstdio.h>.

If your code says #include <cstdio> and your compiler is looking for cstdio.h, then you urgently need to find a better compiler.

Really ? My c++ project is created in the virtual studio 2012. And it is a WDM driver. thanks. – Joe.wang Sep 06 '13 at 15:21

If you're using C++, the correct header name is <cstdio> (not cstdio.h).

Although you should use cstdio, standard C++ provides 25 C headers, among which is stdio.h – PlasmaHH Sep 06 '13 at 10:09
@PlasmaHH Is my answer wrong ? – cnicutar Sep 06 '13 at 10:10
Upvoted, no idea why this was downvoted. – MSalters Sep 06 '13 at 10:10
@MSalters I'm always on edge with C++ answers since I', very much a beginner. I know `stdio.h` is typically also available, but it doesn't put the right stuff in `std` (I think). – cnicutar Sep 06 '13 at 10:13
@cnicutar: That would be a subject of another question, but the content of the old C headers really weren't the topic of the question here. See also http://stackoverflow.com/a/1026367/15416 – MSalters Sep 06 '13 at 10:18
@PlasmaHH: That's true, but it should be noted that use of the C headers is deprecated. – Mike Seymour Sep 06 '13 at 10:20
Off course the code is `#include `, any other reason ? thanks. – Joe.wang Sep 06 '13 at 15:22
