cannot find strstream in /usr/include/c++/3.3.3

[derek]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile someone's code which uses ostrstream. I know
it's declared in file strstream, but I can't find this file in the
/usr/include/c++/3.3.3 directory. There is a file called sstream, but
it doesn't work when I include sstream.

Do you guys know what's wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Try switching to new ones instead of old string streams. The old ones
have been deprecated. Actually, deprecation doesn't necessarily mean
obsoleteness. You could ask in gnu.g++.help for more information on
where 'ostrstream' has gone.

There is "strstream" in the subdirectory "backward". Just include
it normally:

#include <strstream>

and everything will work.
