Examples of errors detected by the V677 diagnostic

V677. Custom declaration of standard type. Consider using the declaration from system header files instead.

SlimDX

V677 Custom declaration of a standard 'INT8' type. The system header file should be used: #include <BaseTsd.h>. d3dx11dbg.h 32

typedef signed char    INT8;
typedef signed short   INT16;
typedef unsigned char  UINT8;
typedef unsigned short UINT16;

Similar errors can be found in some other places:

• V677 Custom declaration of a standard 'INT16' type. The system header file should be used: #include <BaseTsd.h>. d3dx11dbg.h 33
• V677 Custom declaration of a standard 'UINT8' type. The system header file should be used: #include <BaseTsd.h>. d3dx11dbg.h 34
• V677 Custom declaration of a standard 'UINT16' type. The system header file should be used: #include <BaseTsd.h>. d3dx11dbg.h 35
