Hello,
I have downloaded the latest GNU C++ and noticed some major changes.
1) Header files no longer have the .h extension
2) cin, cout and cerr are no longer supported by the iostream library. I must modify my calls to these functions to std:: cin, std::cout etc--
Why are these changes made that make my code no longer backwards compatible and is there anything I can do to my existing programs to get them to compile short of making the changes mentioned above. It would seem that these cj=hanges have made existing C++ literature and examples obsolete.
Thanks,
William T. Gerics
