STL and Visual C++ .net conflicts

[Jean-Baptiste]

Hi,

I am currently porting a C++ project (linux version) under windows.
This project uses the STL stuff. When I try to compile and built my
project, I get a lot of errors.
The main part of them seems to be due to the stl library. Indeed, it
seems that the standard libary redefines some structure already
defined in xutility.

I tryed some tricks without any success.

I copy paste some errors I get as an example.

....
d:\vs7\include\xutility(21) : error C2011: 'std::input_iterator_tag' :
'struct' type redefinition
d:\Documents\Visual Studio
Projects\seiscal\stl\stl_iterator_base.h(42) : see declaration of
'std::input_iterator_tag'

d:\vs7\include\xutility(25) : error 2011: 'std:utput_iterator_tag' :
'struct' type redefinition
d:\Documents\Visual Studio
Projects\seiscal\stl\stl_iterator_base.h(43) : see declaration of
'std:utput_iterator_tag'
.... etc


If you have an idea on how I could resolve this problem, please help
me !

Thanks a lot,

Jean-Baptiste

Remove all of the old STL headers from the project.

What is the above file? Why is it part of your project? Iterators are
part of the standard library and shouldn't be included in your project
directory. You should delete the whole stl directory from your
project.

d:\vs7\include\xutility(25) : error 2011: 'std:utput_iterator_tag' :
'struct' type redefinition
d:\Documents\Visual Studio
Projects\seiscal\stl\stl_iterator_base.h(43) : see declaration of

If you have problems with differences between the STL you were using
and Dinkumware's STL, consider using STLport (www.stlport.org) which
is likely to be more similar to the one you were using. In any case,
it is probably better to remove any non-standard use of the STL from
your project - the Dinkumware library that comes with MSVC.NET is
approximately 100% standards compliant, but your code might not be...

Oh, and note that the correct group for this would be
microsoft.public.vc.stl - this group is not concerned with
implementation specific problems.
