Using STL List

When I compile this code.

Code:

---

#include <list>

main() {

    list <int> numlist;

}

---

I get an error, "list is undeclared identifier".

All the examples of using the list show this to be correct, do I need to download or update my copy of STL or something? Or are there other headers I must include?

Im using MSVC 6 with SP5


Any feedback is appreciated.

try this:

Code:

---

#include <list>

main() {

    std::list <int> numlist;

}

---

I usually typdef anything vectors, list and thing which hide in namespace std;

or you could do this:

Code:

---

#include<list>

using std::list;

int main()
{ list<int> numList;

  return(0);
}

---

or even:

Code:

---

#include<list>
using namespace std;

int main()
{ list<int> numList;

  return(0);
}

---

those two methods or endo's are all acceptable, your choice just depends on your preference, i personally get sick of doing std::list, std::string, std::vector and the sort so normally just use a using std::.... .
