This is not C++, it's C. If you want the C-style string functions available in the C++ 'std' namespace, you must do: #include <cstring>
It is also perfectly valid C++03. Now most compilers never implemented this properly, and C++0X validates that behavior, so the code won't be valid C++0X. But then, IIRC, C++0X also undeprecates the inclusion of string.h, so the OP might as well keep including string.h and use strcpy (without std::).
