<fstream.h>?

[Larek Robinson]

I was just wondering if there had been an update to the binary download of C::B recently, since I recently downloaded the installer, and reinstalled my C::B (due to personal issues that are now fixed).

I was wondering if this was done, because Code::Blocks can't seem to find <fstream.h>. When I downloaded it and installed it, it gave me another error saying it couldn't find <_defs.h>. So I went and downloaded and installed it.. this time I got an error in <iostream.h> where it was unable to do anything with this line here _CLASSDEF(ios).

I know that iostream.h is a bit outdated, but I'm supposed to use it for my class, and although I use <iostream>, sometimes I need to use <iostream.h>.

If someone could help point out something I may be missing, that would be great!

First of all :

If you want to use an outdate compiler, you have to find one and download/install it.
Please do not blame C::B if it ships with a more uptodate (and more standard conform) compiler.

Never mix heder-files of different compiler versions, this can break your compiler or make your application crash.

I don't know any cause, why you should use <iostream.h> instead of <iostream>.

I understand every reason of why I should never use <iostream.h> over <iostream>. I must use it for my C++ class, and although I use <iostream>, I must convert it to <iostream.h> standards, and this requires me to build and run the program so I can double check that it works.

Sorry for wasting your time,
