>Description:
stream.C: In function `int main()':
stream.C:15: invalid conversion from `int' to `std::_Ios_Fmtflags'
stream.C:15:   initializing argument 1 of `std::_Ios_Fmtflags 
   std::ios_base::setf(std::_Ios_Fmtflags, std::_Ios_Fmtflags)'
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following:
--- Begin Source ---
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::ios_base;

int main()
{
   double a = 1234.56789;

   cout << a << endl;
   cout.setf(ios_base::scientific, ios_base::floatfield);
   cout << a << endl;
   cout.setf(0, ios_base::floatfield);  // Return to default output
   cout << a << endl;
}
--- End source ---
>Fix:
Use the cc: Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 compiler :-)
