“std_lib_facilities.h” showing error

Question

I am using Codeblocks 17.12 and have already set compiler settings to C++11 standard. I am studying from Bjarne Stroustrup\'s book \"Programming - Principles and Practice us

Answer 1

Using the updated header is probably the best solution. For those interested in this particular error: it seems to be caused by

// disgusting macro hack to get a range checked string:
#define string String

When is included after this macro, gcc runs into errors. When it is included before, gcc compiles fine. (Note: this macro is enabled only when _MSC_VER<1500; according to comments "MS C++ 9.0" does not get this macro.)

This is an object lesson on why hacks are not recommended. They break over time.
