Re: Debian Std C++?
Hi, g++ 2.7.2.3 is fairly out of date with respect to C++ standards. Use egcs C++ 1.x instead. Egcs is the Experimental GNU Compiler System. It is somewhat equivalent to gcc/g++ 2.9x.x, sort of :). Anyway, the egcs version of g++ conforms much more closely to the latest C++ standard. However, the current stable version of egcs doesn't yet support namespaces, except for namespace::std. If you can wait till August, when egcs 1.1 is supposed to be released then that version is supposed to support general namespaces. I'm not sure but it may also include the latest version of SGI's STL (3.1). Again, I am not sure about the latest version of SGI's STL. The new style C++ headers, iostream for example, are also supported in the current version of egcs. Are using bo? Debian 2.0 (hamm) uses egcs c++ and FORTRAN by default. The old gcc 2.7.2.3 is still being used in hamm since there are kernel compile issues with gcc 2.8.x and egcs 1.x. By the way, this is not local to Debian. Any distribution that uses g++ will have these problems. -Ossama __ Ossama Othman [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- PGP Keys --- Public: http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/othman/OO_PUBLIC.asc REVOKED: http://astrosun.tn.cornell.edu/staff/othman/OO_REVOKED.asc -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Debian 2.0 will ship with the egcs C++ compiler (http://egcs.cygnus.com/) version 1.0.3 . For instance, browsing my system I see that c++ is gcc version 2.7.2.3. It warns that namespaces are mostly broken. The standard library is not enclosed in the namespace std, and iostream.h looks old and is not iostream. egcs 1.0.3 still does not understand namespaces fully yet, but its C++ support is a big improvement over 2.7.2.3's . How long before I can type in every example from Stroustrup's latest book, and have it compile on Debian GNU/Linux? Impossible to say. Join egcs development if you want it to be sooner rather than later. HTH, Ray -- Obsig: developing a new sig -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

The original poster might want to try latest egcs snapshots from egcs.cygnus.com. They work better for me than 1.0.3 in general and they include better namespace support, better thread support, etc. Of course, they are development snapshots, so #include std. disclaimer //Hannu -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
