gcc 3.2

[Juergen Suessmaier]

Hi Israel,

gcc3 comes with a new version of the C++ standard lib, where several
things have changed due to standardization. Including <fstream.h>
should for example launch a note, that this include file is deprecated
and you should include <fstream> instead.

Next thing: Name spaces. The standard C++ stuff all resides in a namespace
called std, so you can for example either write something like

   std::cout << "blah" << std::endl;

or place something like

using std::cout;
using std::endl;

at the top of your source (after the appropriate includes of course) and
leave the rest as is, i.e.

   cout << "blah" << endl;

As an alternative you can also do something like

namespace std {

      ... your code ...
}

but that gave me some headache as all declarations in there will also reside
in the std namespace...

Another more or less serious problem I faced is the disappearance of fstream::attach(),
which allows attaching a file handle to a stream. I haven't got a solution for that
right now (probably because I'm not a streams/STL guru...). Some solutions provided in
several docs mention, that the stream constructor should be called with a file name
as a 'const char *' argument (among others), but that's no option for me because I
have to deal with sockets and pipes at that point and don't have any file name - just
the file handle. If someone has some sample code to work around the missing attach()
method, I'd be glad to take a look at it :-)

Best regards,
Juergen
