Defining iterators

[Deke]

I upgraded to gcc 3.4 and ran into the problem below. I don't understand
it and need to fix this quickly. Any resolutions in changing to code
will be appreciated. I will research this later this week as time allows
but a quick resolution with code example will help a great deal.

Thanks

It's become quite a FAQ that is not yet in The FAQ.

Must use typename with dependent type names:
typedef typename std::map<K,D,C>::iterator iterator; // line 17
typedef typename std::map<K,D,C>::const_iterator const_iterator; // line 18

(the older compiler versions were slacking on the standard)

The standard *did* change underfoot, you know.
