Why would Microsoft mess with STL?

i dunno. but it seemed the way the iterator template was used in MySqlpp was slightly different than the way it should be according microsoft's implementation. the problem is also that the ANSI C++ standard has changed over the years, so maybe Visual C++ still uses a different version.

what's also weird is that there are two versions of all the io related c++ library header files. there is for example both an iostream and an iostream.h file in the include directory, and they seem to have differing implementations. weird...

This sounds just like when they goofed up Java.

they're always goofing up standards. they do that to enforce incompatibility, so that people will stick to microsoft products and not use other products.

c ya,
