I predict that after the release of GCC 3.0 we will see an avalanche of
bug reports/complaints that g++ fails for the most simple kind of input:
#include <vector>
class C {
vector<int> vi;
};
% gccvs x.cc
x.cc:3: syntax error before `;' token
Yes, this program is not ISO C++, but still this kind of failure mode
is hardly acceptable, IMNSHO.
(I noticed that the libstdc++ folks do provide a backwards-compatibility
mode when one includes <vector.h>, not <vector>. Excellent idea!)
