Hi. I'm dipping my toe into the waters of the STL. But I've already run into some weird warnings I don't get. All I've tried to do is make a vector of strings:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main() 
{

    vector<string> v;
    string s("Hello STL");
    v.push_back(s);
    cout << v[0] << endl;

	return 0;
}

The program runs and displays 'Hello STL', but I get a mess of warnings from my compiler (MS VC++ 6.0): Configuration: test1 - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling... test1.cpp c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\chapter_3\test1.cpp(15) : warning C4786: 'std::reverse_iterator,std::allocator > const *,std::basic_string,std::alloc ator >,std::basic_string,std::allocator > const &,std::basic_string,std::allocator > const *,int>' : identifier was truncated to '255' characters in the debug information c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\chapter_3\test1.cpp(15) : warning C4786: 'std::reverse_iterator,std::allocator > *,std::basic_string,std::allocator >,std::basic_string,std::allocator > &,std::basic_string,std::allocator > *,int>' : identifier was truncated to '255' characters in the debug information c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\vector(39) : warning C4786: 'std::vector,std::allocator >,std::allocator,std::allocator > > >::vector,std::allocator >,std::allocator,std::allocator > > >' : identifier was truncated to '255' characters in the debug information c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\vector(60) : warning C4786: 'std::vector,std::allocator >,std::allocator,std::allocator > > >::~vector,std::allocator >,std::allocator,std::allocator > > >' : identifier was truncated to '255' characters in the debug information Linking... test1.exe - 0 error(s), 4 warning(s) Am I doing something wrong?

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanx.

If you really want to have some fun, set the warning level to the maximum. I did this once, and I had several hundred warnings. Only two of them were in code I wrote. The other couple hundred were in MS''s header files, lol.

A lot of people put this in their stdafx.h or any header file to suppress those warnings in VC++ 6.

#pragma warning( disable : 4786 )  // disable browser symbol truncation warning (stl templates) 

Of course if you can afford it (or you have access to the student edition) I''d recommend upgrading to VC++ 2003, since it offers a lot better STL support.

Yeah, I can get the student edition of Visual Stuido .NET 2003, so this may push me over the edge to make the purchase.
