Problem with iostream clear(), gcc version 3.0 20010223

[Craig Rodrigues <rodrigc at mediaone dot net>]

Hi,

Tested with:
gcc version 3.0 20010223 (prerelease) 
Built from the CodeSourcery source rpm under Redhat 7.0.

The following code example:

#include <iostream>
 
void foo(void)
{
 
      std::cin.clear(5);
}
                                  

When compiled, results in the following compiler error:
y.cc: In function `void foo()':
y.cc:6: no matching function for call to `std::basic_istream<char,
   std::char_traits<char> >::clear(int)'
/usr/local/include/g++-v3/bits/basic_ios.h:105: candidates are: void
   std::basic_ios<_CharT, _Traits>::clear(std::_Ios_Iostate =
   std::ios_base::goodbit) [with _CharT = char, _Traits =
   std::char_traits<char>]                                  

Can someone help me with this?  It looks like a problem in char_traits
somewhere, but I don't know how to track it down.

Thanks.
