GNU C++ compiler is still a long way from ANSI/ISO compliance, sorry.
The compiler itself is getting close, but the runtime is not even close
(see http://sourceware.cygnus.com/libstdc++/ for libstdc++-v3 project
that will be ISO compliant).

Contrary to the marketing hype you may hear, there is no compiler that 
conforms 100% to the standard yet 

Your code snippet from example will not even compile with an ISO
compliant C++ compiler (hint: either prefix with std:: or import
all of std with `using namespace std;'.)
