>Description:
Including <string> breaks <ctype.h> on HP-UX 10.20 with gcc 3.1 or gcc 3.2. For example compiling the attached foo.cc results in an error:

The error seems to be caused by <string> defining _SB_CTYPE_MACROS, which breaks <ctype.h> on HP-UX 10.20.

This error has been introduced in gcc-3.1. It looks like a regression caused by this bad fix:
http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gcc&pr=6501

The broken file is:
include/c++/3.2.1/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/bits/os_defines.h
and it looks like:
// Use macro form of ctype functions to ensure __SB_masks is defined.
#define _SB_CTYPE_MACROS 1
>How-To-Repeat:
compile the attached file on HP-UX 10.20 using gcc-3.1 or gcc-3.2
>Fix:

I suggest teh bad fix from:
http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gcc&pr=6501
is reverted. Macro _SB_CTYPE_MACROS was not defined in gcc-3.0 and it used to work just fine.
