Compiler Error C2084

  • Article

function 'function' already has a body

The function has already been defined.

Before Visual Studio 2002,

  • The compiler would accept multiple template specializations that resolved to the same actual type, although the additional definitions would never be available. The compiler now detects these multiple definitions.

  • __int32 and int were treated as separate types. The compiler now treats __int32 as a synonym for int. This means that the compiler detects multiple definitions if a function is overloaded on both __int32 and int and gives an error.

Example

The following sample generates C2084:

// C2084.cpp
void Func(int);
void Func(int) {}   // define function
void Func(int) {}   // C2084 second definition

To correct this error, remove the duplicate definition:

// C2084b.cpp
// compile with: /c
void Func(int);
void Func(int) {}
