PRB: Including STL.H Causes Compiler Errors

RESOLUTION

STL.H was included with Visual C++ 4.2 by mistake. It is not part of the ANSI standard for Standard C++ Libraries and should not be used. Instead, include the individual header files associated with the particular STL component(s) the program is using. The sample code below, for example, will compile and run correctly if "#include <stl.h>" is changed to "#include <vector>."

/* Compile options needed:
*/ 

//workaround: change the following line to #include <vector>
#include <stl.h>

//workaround: change the "typedef" to:
//typedef vector<int, allocator<int> > INTVECT;
typedef vector<int> INTVECT;

void main()
{
     INTVECT ivect;
}
