How to use std::copy with std::map?

[Siegfried Heintze]

Should the following work? It does on some compilers. How can I get it to
work on g++ 3.2?
On g++ 3.2 it keeps telling me that there is no such function operator <<
for ostream and pair<string,string>. But there is!
And I can call it! And it works! So why cannot std::copy find it?

thanks,
Siegfried

template<typename K, typename V>
ostream& operator<<(ostream& os, std:air<K,V>& p){ return os << p.first <<
p.second; }

Compiler-specific questions should be asked in the newsgroup dedicated
to that compiler. Try gnu.g++.help.

operator << for ostream and pair<string,string>. But there is!
Where?

Is that what you wrote? Where does this definition appear? In
the global scope?

std::map<string,string> m; m[(string)"hello"] = (string)"there";
std::copy(m.begin(), m.end(),

(cout, ",");

Argument-dependent lookup (ADL) does not look in all the namespaces.
It limits its search to the types involved and the namespaces where
those types are defined. You need to place your operator in 'std'
namespace.
