<algorithm>  <deque>   <functional>  <hash_map>   <hash_set>   <iterator>
<list>    <map>    <memory>   <numeric>   <queue>   <rope>    <set>
<slist>
<stack>   <utility>   <vector>

And this is some of the error messages I got by including <string>:

c:\vc\include\sgi\stl_string_fwd.h(38) : error C2065: 'alloc' : undeclared
identifier
c:\vc\include\sgi\stl_string_fwd.h(38) : error C2974: 'basic_string' :
invalid template argument for '_Alloc', type expected
        c:\vc\include\sgi\stl_string_fwd.h(36) : see declaration of
'basic_string'
c:\vc\include\sgi\stl_string_fwd.h(39) : error C2974: 'basic_string' :
invalid template argument for '_Alloc', type expected
        c:\vc\include\sgi\stl_string_fwd.h(36) : see declaration of
'basic_string'

Defining this:
#define __STL_USE_STD_ALLOCATORS

reduce the errors, but I must stop there since VC++ 6.0 just can't compile
the following line:

=>  template <class _Tp1> allocator(const allocator<_Tp1>&) __STL_NOTHROW {}

using template keyword for members, that is. Take a look at stl_alloc.h

But then, something still bothers me, though. Don't you use <string>, or
stream whatsoever? Because merely the inclusion of <string> or stream
library again stall the compiler (this is after I rename SGI's string and
bitset, again using VC string and bitset)... <sigh>

Guess I'll go to

http://www.mindspring.com/~fluxsmith/Programming/library.html

and take a close look at Jonathan's work.

I want to write code like: [warning: untested]

---
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
        string t = "First we do something: ";
        for (int i=1; i <= 9: ++i) {
                t = t + ".";
        }
        t = t + " and now something else: ";
        for (int i=9; i > 0; --i) {
                t = t + "!";
        }
        return t.size();

When compiled without the -Za flag, I get a "redefinition of i" error,
which clearly is a violation of the C++ standard.

So, I try with the -Za enable, but then the compiler fails with hundreds
of errors.

I tried to use the SGL STL 3.11 instead of the included STL, but experienced
the same problem with #include <string> as already discussed.

Does anybody know a way to enable the correct for-scoping without breaking
the STL?  Anything, including the use of an alternative STL implementation,
is a solution to me, as long as it is portable to any reasonably compliant
C++ compiler with a reasonably compliant STL library.

Thanks,
