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 |

| ..catch | operator | try |
| class | private | virtual |
| delete | protected | __multiple_inheritance |

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

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