I am trying to compile a simple test program using stlport 4.6.2 and dm 8.44c and I get an error.

Windows XP gives the "test_simple_stl_program.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience." error reporting message box. Error Code is 0xc0000005 Searching the web it seems this is an access violation code.

Here is the program:

#include<iostream>

int main(void) {
int number;
std::cout  << "\n\nHello World\n";
std::cin   >> number;                   //error
std::cout  << "\n\nGoodbye\n";
return 0;
}

As soon as you press return after entering an integer ie 12 the program dies.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Does anyone have a solution?

I suggest using stlport 4.5.3 which comes with DMC++ and works with it. You
can download it from
www.digitalmars.com/download/freecompiler.html

I dunno -- 4.6.2 "works for me". After all, I do maintain that DMC port at http://mordred.cs.ucla.edu/STLport_DMC/. I haven't sunk much time into STLport 5 yet, haven't really needed to do so.

What compiler flags are you using? Are you using the CD or the free compiler? Typically, this bug occurs when you mix the DLL STLport library with the static library. Also, you can only use the static STLport 4.6.2 library with DMC. Linking with the DLL version will cause you problems.

STLport is __very__ sensitive to compiler flags -- it has lots of options. But with freedom comes responsibility...

If you look at mordred's web page, you'll see exact compiler flags you need to use with the CD and the free versions of DMC.
