It is indeed trivial - as of gcc version 3 and later - it conforms to the 
c++ standard with increased accuracy ... as such the standard library 
elements are now in namespace std.

either std::cout - or a using namespace std directive - will be required for 
your code to be conforming the c++ standard and thus compile.
