Could somebody try this simple program and see
whether it crashes with an access violation?

I can't believe something this simple is broken
in stl_port, but when I built it according to
the directions, everything went fine.

Thanks in advance.

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;

#include <string>
using std::string;

int main()
{
  int I;
  string s;
  cout << "Enter a number: ";
  cin >> I;
  cout << "Enter a token:";
  cin >> s;
}

Oops, I got the _FILE_I_end function wrong... :-(

A patch is available at http://cmeerw.org/files/dm/stlport-dm830.diff (which also adds DMC support to src\fstream.cpp)

You also need to get http://cmeerw.org/files/dm/patch.exe if you don't already have patch installed on your system.

Then cd to \dm\stlport and invoke:

patch -sp1 <..\stlport-dm830.diff

to apply the patch.

...and what have you contributed to the Net?

Thanks for the follow-up, Christof.  I will
apply your patch forthwith and report back
if that does not cure the problem.

By the way, the problem only occurs when
cin is associated with the console.  If I
redirect input from a file, the >> string
operation works fine.

Hello,

I have been able to fix that problem using the patch, but why isn't it posted on the Digital Mars web site? The latest stl port download there has the same problem and I had to hunt through the newsgroup to find the solution.
