No they didn''t, try clicking on edit, and it''s there.

We can help you, but need to know what errors are you getting? The declaration in itself is fine. Nothing wrong with the code.

Correction:

#include <list>

// this will compile

int foo()
{
	std::list<int>::iterator foo;
	return 0;
}
 

but

#include <list>
using std::list;

// this will not

int foo()
{
	list<int>::iterator foo;
	return 0;
}

Errors are:
error C2653: 'list<int,class std::allocator<int> >' : is not a class or namespace name
error C2065: 'iterator' : undeclared identifier
error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'foo'
warning C4551: function call missing argument list

G++, however, compiles the second one just fine IIRC.

I know there are standard compliance issues in VC++ 6.0, and I'd like to find out if I can fix them with a patch or if I have to go get .NET, because I'd like to avoid reinstalling visual studio if I can help it.

It's because list is not a namespace, it's a class. The below should work.

#include <list>
using namespace std;

int foo()
{
	list<int>::iterator foo;
	return 0;
}

You can "use" classes as well, in fact, it's generally better practice to use a single class than an entire namespace.

jbarcz1 -- your problem has to do with visual C++ 6. It's just a flaw of the compiler. Upgrade to .NET/.NET 2003 or use a different compiler to fix the problem. That, as far as I know, is your only solution without abandoning your current way of tackling the situation.

Yup, you''re correct. Sorry. I just confused "using" with "using namespace".
