iostream

[Matthias Blaickner <matthiasblaickner at yahoo dot com>]

Hi everybody

I have problems with cygwin supporting iostream.h I
use g++ as compiler and I'm told to remove the .h
suffix from the header. doing so results in error
messages about unknown functions.
the test programm is:

#include 
main()
{
cout << "He's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty
boy" << endl;
}

resulting in:
  
In file included from
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/backward/iostream.h:31,
                 from test.cc:1:
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/backward/backward_warning.h:32:2:
warning: #warning This file includes at least one
deprecated or antiquated header. Please consider using
one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the
C++ standard. Examples include substituting the 
header for the  header for C++ includes, or
 instead of the deprecated header
. To disable this warning use
-Wno-deprecated.
test.cc:5:2: warning: no newline at end of file

using  returns:

test.cc: In function `int main()':
test.cc:4: error: `cout' undeclared (first use this
function)
test.cc:4: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once for each function it appears in.)
test.cc:4: error: `endl' undeclared (first use this
function)
test.cc:5:2: warning: no newline at end of file

I really searched the mailing list, the web etc. the
advice below doesn't help me since I Do use g++ and a
cc-suffix.

thanks for any advise

    I believe this is in the gcc FAQ. However, it's
been asked often enough

    What's wrong with me today? :-(
    Please strike the ".cpp" suffix. The above should
read:
    The default suffixes for C++ are ".C", ".cc", and
".cxx".

your 'mistake' was understandable, since ".C", ".cc",
".cxx", ".cp", ".cpp" and".c++". are all considered
c++ in gcc 3.0 and up. (although the person in this
question is obviously using <3.0 since they got it to
compile :P)
