After all the hubbub that this thread has gone through, I got curious and decided to download the STL 3.3 source code from SGI too. The sample code compiles as is with STL that comes with DJGPP (which is _not_ STL 3.3). Okay so before I tried to install the new STL, I first moved the directory containing the old STL to another directory as a backup. Then I unzipped the new STL into /dev/env/DJDIR/lang/cxx. I then tried to compile the sample code. Now gxx complains about not being able to find the iostream headers. I checked the new STL archive and there are no iostream headers, hmmm they should be in _this_ archive. I wonder why that is... So next, to remedy this problem with the iostream headers, I deleted the new STL directory and copied the old STL back into lang/cxx. Again I unzipped the new STL into lang/cxx, thus overwriting the old files in there. Compiling the sample code, gxx barfed the following: ~/djgpp/test>$!gxx gxx test.cc -o test.exe g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h: In function `static void _Assignable_concept_speci fication > >::_Assignable_requirement_violation(vector >)': g:/lang/cxx/stl_vector.h:159: instantiated from `vector >,allocator > > >' test.cc:6: instantiated from here g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:530: use of parameter from containing function g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:389: `int __a' declared here g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:531: use of parameter from containing function g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:389: `int __a' declared here g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:532: use of parameter from containing function g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:389: `int __a' declared here g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:532: use of parameter from containing function g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:389: `int __a' declared here g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:533: use of parameter from containing function g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:389: `int __a' declared here g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:533: use of parameter from containing function g:/lang/cxx/concept_checks.h:389: `int __a' declared here Now I have the same problem as yours ;-P Now this seems to me, as you've pointed out, that it could be an error in the STL code, since the classes in particular concept_checks.h are there supposedly to aid in debugging. I suggest reading the comments in the concept_checks.h header file to see what these classes do. This header is new in 3.3 and (possibly) introduces new bugs. Also the problem seems to be correlated with the fact the stl_config.h does not even mention __DJGPP__. In summary: STL 3.3 does not work with DJGPP. Well, not unless it is ported to DJGPP. Right now I'm thinking of starting work on that port if I find the time to start working on it tonight :-) Anyway, I hope this answers some of your questions for the moment. And maybe others will look into this as well.
