Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 is screwed up

I have been using Dev-C++ 4, you know the one just under the BETA version. Well I finally decided to upgrade to the BETA version, so I download it and install it. Everything seems to be fine until I write a small console app that just outputs to the screen. Here is the exact code used:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    cout<<"Hello"<<endl;
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

---

And here are my errors:

Code:

---

C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\hello.cpp In function `int main()':
6 C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\hello.cpp `cout' undeclared (first use this function)
  (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
6 C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\hello.cpp `endl' undeclared (first use this function)

---

What is up with that? I included iostream which defines cout and endl and Dev decides it doesn't like that code anymore. Any ideas? Is Dev configured wrong or what?

Oh do not throw around such harsh accuasations! We are all well aware that cout is a part of the std namespace, meaning you can reference it as such explicitely

Code:

---

std::cout << stuff;

---

Or map all of STL into the current namespace

Code:

---

using namespace std;
cout << stuff; // Like you tried

---

Ok, thanks. But why would would the old version of Dev not make you call "using namespace std;"? Now I have the bad habit of not including "using namespace std;" because the old version of Dev didn't require it to use those functions....

using a namespace globally isn't good practice anyway

Hi,

For those who are interested, here is an article "Using Namespaces"
from http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/namespaces.html

Best Regards,

It's a good idea to make sure you uninstalled the old version of Dev. It could cause a few problems as it did with me when I 'upgraded'.

Because DevC++4 is screwed up? :p
I think the betas of DevC++5 automatically add the global namespace thing to the main source file. Anyway, you're probably better off getting used to putting std:: in front of just about everything.
