Name

DEFECT_SGICC_STRING_HEADER

Affected Systems-Compilers

Systems: SGI IRIX6

Compilers: SGI MipsPro 7.1nx

Description

The header string is missing from the Standard C++ Library. The vendor claims that users should use mstring.h as a replacement. This "mstring" header declares the "Modena" string class, which is an adequate substitute for the Standard C++ string class for most purposes.

Work-Around

// Include the string class header
#if defined(DEFECT_SGICC_STRING_HEADER)
#include <mstring.h>
#else // Standard C++
#include <string>
#endif
