Thread: Compile errors in stl header files

Hello,
Writing my program, went to compile. Fixed all my own compile errors, then found another batch complaining about the stl libraries.

Code:

istringstream sin;
sin.str(curword);
GLfloat pt[3];
sin.ignore(100, '(');
sin >>  pt[0] >> pt[1] >> pt[2] ;
sin.ignore(2, '}');
cout << "point: " << pt[0] << "  " << pt[1] << "  " << pt[2] << endl;
points.push_back(pt);

Points is a member variable, of type std::vector <GLfloat[3]> points;

The compile errors all complain about points.push_back(pt); I suspect it is a problem with the use of GLfloats with std::vectors, but not entirely sure, and not sure how to fix it if this is the problem.

I'm building in Dev-C++, and the compile log is as follows.

Code:

Thanks for reading. What can I do? I assume there aren't this many bugs in the STL header files :S

One of the problems with templates is that the compile errors for your code may appear in code you didn't write.
