ostrstream problem

[Peter Doerfler]

Hi Ernest.

"strstream has been deprecated in the C++98 standard because the standards 
committee felt it was superseded by stringstream, which better encapsulates 
memory management. strstream is still an official part of the standard that 
conforming C++ implementers must provide."
[distilled from Herb Sutter's http://www.gotw.ca/publications/mill19.htm]

So you can either use ostringstream or include backward/strstream (found by 
grep). Note that I haven't checked if the ostrstream now in backward is the 
same that used to be in the general include directory in previous versions.

HTH, Peter
