string library in gcc 3.0.3?

[John Love-Jensen]

Hi Ukrit,

Your program does not comply to ISO/IEC 14882:1998 "Standard C++
specification".  That is to say:  it's not C++.

I've touched it up for you...

test.cpp:
#include <string>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;
int main() {
   string a;
   a = "test";
   printf("test message: %s", a.c_str());
   // However, preferable over the printf():
   // cout << "test message: " << a << endl;
   // (You'd need #include <iostream>, too.)
}

I recommend Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language (special edition, or
third edition).
