Does it makes sense to MSVC++ what to include #include <string.h> or #include <string>? I suppose that both are identical. Am I wrong?

When I do include #include <string.h> in my header with function declaration shown below I have the error:

Error 12 error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

int userInput(HWND dialogWnd, char *pcResult, int iBufferLen, int iTimeoutSec, int iMinDataSize, int iMaxDataSize, const std::wstring & pcFormHeader, const std::wstring  & pcDefaultText);

These are completely different headers. – T.C. Sep 15 '14 at 13:22

`string.h` is for C string functions. `string` is for C++ `std::string` and related declarations. – crashmstr Sep 15 '14 at 13:23

`` can also be referred to as `` (there are differences in how it interacts with the `std::` namespace). – Keith Thompson Sep 15 '14 at 15:39
