Problem with getline()

I'm new to programming so please be patient with me :D

I'm trying to run a very simple code in Windows XP and in Code::Blocks with Borland Compiler (5.5, 5.82):

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

string bla;

int main()
{
 getline(cin, bla);

 cout << "You entered: " << bla << endl;

}

---

as i press F9 to compile, the program crashes (it shows the usual "b.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." window)

and in cmd it returns 0xC0000005 error

If i use just "cin>>" everything works normaly...

What is the problem and what can i do to manage it?

You forgot to include the string header.

Code:

---

#include <string>

---

Edit: Warnings and errors mean things; but in this case was not the problem.

Tested OK with 6.1 bcc.

Edit: Tested with bcc 5.5.1 and it crashed.
Edit: Tested with bcc 5.8.2 and it worked.
Edit: Tested with bcc 5.9.2 and it worked.

Looks like you need to upgrade to a newer version of bcc

Why are you using Borland? Old, poor compiler. Use GCC, that is my suggestion.

I switched to GCC and it worked, no more crashes... Tnx Elysia... i'll use GCC from now on then...

@stahta01: I notice the errors and the warnings, but it didnt even come to that because it crashed before anything happened...
