Use of _PTHREADS for threadsafe STL allocation in 2.95.2

["Jeff Greif" <jmg at trivida dot com>]

It's not clear to me whether this is a bug in gcc 2.95.2 or the supplied STL, or whether I'm simply using the _PTHREADS macro incorrectly.  A lot of warnings are produced from this source code:

 

#define _PTHREADS 1

 

#include <string>

 

std::string foo;

The point of using _PTHREADS is to force the STL to use threadsafe allocators.  I wondered what is the meaning of the warning about "partly bracketed initializer" and whether there is some way to suppress it, without suppressing anything else.  Thanks for any clarifying info.
