std::vector - a bunch of compiler warnings - General and Gameplay Programming

I have practically no experience w/ STL, and thought "let's get a grip on it". So I thought I'd just start small, and have written a piece of code. I have both the M$ and Silicon Graphics' implementation of STL. Working with VC++6.0 Pro SP5 on Win2k. As you can see, this little piece of code gives me **many** warnings with both implementations. Btw, if I change the line

  
typedef vector<int> t_int_vector;  
// to 

typedef vector<int, allocator<int> > t_int_vector;

The SGI implementation gives me an INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR. The M$ implementation still gives me the bunch of warnings. I've searched the net, and also tried to compile some samples from MSDN, but the bunch of warnings (more or less) remains the same. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? TIA. Here the code (and the warnings)

    
#pragma warning(disable:4786)

#include <vector> 
using namespace std;

typedef vector<int> t_int_vector; 

void main()
{
	int i = 1;
	t_int_vector the_vector;
	the_vector.push_back(i);
}

Those warnings are mainly down to deficiencies of MSVC++6, and are something you''ll have to live with while you use that compiler. The best thing to do is probably to turn off the "gibberish" warnings so that you can concentrate on the ones that are more useful.

Sabre: Thx for the answer. Do you mean that those warnings are normal ?! (Or with other words, VC++6.0 is that f***ed up?) A principle I try to respect is to write code that compiles "clean". And when I disabple a warning with a #pragma, I want to exactly know what I''m doing.

What do you do? Do you simply ignore them?

Hmm you must have one messed up installation. I compiled your code snippet with both Dinkumware''s STL (the one that comes with VC6) and the STL Port version. No errors.

Judging by your errors it appears you haven''t installed the SGI implementation correctly. You probably should be using STL Port which is based on the SGI implementation but much more compiler friendly.

Still, the code compiles fine for me, no idea what you are doing wrong...

Erm... well, it''s not really "normal", but it is something that you will have to put up with. I tend to turn warnings off if I know they are safe to ignore.

Wolf: the code doesn''t give errors, but just warnings. If the installation wasn''t correct (what could you do wrong here?), the code wouldn''t compile at all.

Sabre: seems to be no way around this, altough I don''t like it.

Thank you both.

Hehe sorry I meant warnings; I don't get any warnings when compiling those samples. Then again, I don't use SGI's STL implementation directly. I use an STL implementation that is based on SGIs called STL Port. STL Port is more compatible with various compilers than SGIs implementation.

It is true that VC6 is not fully compliant with the C++ standard. The lack of proper template support is frustrating but only gets really annoying when you start to work with complex template code. On average you shouldn't get any warnings when using templates. If you start messing with partial specialization...VC does get a bit picky.

EDIT: It looks as though your VC6 STL installation might be old/corrupted. Try reapplying SP5 again and see if that helps. I believe SP5 (which contains the previous service packs) updates a few of the STL headers.

Wolf: thx for pointing me to STLPort. The code compiles fine and gives only
warning C4514: ''xxxxxxxx'' : unreferenced inline function has been removed
wich is safe to ignore

You made a man happy today
