Hi everyone,I've read multiple posts about how to get the 'tolower' function to work in gcc. From what I understand, the problem is that there are two versions - you must cast to specify which version you want to use. transform(tempString.begin(),tempString.end(),tempString.begin(), (int(*)(int))std::tolower);
Forget the cast and specify ::tolower.
This works with gcc, but not with MS Visual Studio 2003. It only works with MS Visual Studio 2003 if you remove the std::.
...
So, if the problem *is* because the std::tolower version takes 2 arguments (and not one), this lead me to ask why it works in gcc? The only reason I can think of is maybe perhaps the gcc implementation of std::tolower provides some parameter defaults, which the MS version does not?
Why not test your hypothesis? Try calling std::tolower with one argument.
PS: I'm finding that writing portable code when using a STANDARD library is much harder than I would think it is *sigh*
