Hi, I 'am getting compilation errors when I try to compile the below c++ sample code , using g++ version 3.2 . By referring to the below link , I found a workaround . http://www.cs.odu.edu/~zeil/cs361/Lectures-f02/00faq/faq/backwardsHeaders.html#backwardsHeaders When I include line number 9 as part of the code ( i.e. uncomment it ),the compilation goes through fine . I would like to know if there is a better approach to resolve this issue ? Are there any compilation flags which allows this to compile without errors ?
