typedef error, #define instead?

[sandwich_eater]

The following code throws a compiler error: expected init-declarator
before '<' token


struct mystru
{
int yspace;
std::string ymonkey;
};

typedef std::vector<mystru> myvec;

I think I should use the following instead but what is the usual way to
avoid myvec being picked up somewhere else?

#define myvec std::vector<mystru>


Thanks,
Daniel

The compiler has to know std::vector is a template, else it won't know
that < starts the template argument list. Include <vector>.
