3.3.3 Borland C++ 4.5 DOS- and WINDOWS-programs

For programs written in Borland C++ 4.5 all information given in sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 can be applied but there are some further points:

• The first include file has to be <classlib\defs.h>, because there Borland C++ defines its bool type.
• Then, all STL include files have to be included (before any Borland C++ include files).
• Note, that the line numbers of operators that have to be commented out by a #define __USE_STL directive in the include files <cstring.h> and <classlib\alloctr.h> are not the same as given in section 3.3.1 for the appropriate Borland C++ 4.0 include files.
• A further operator has to be excluded by a #define __USE_STL directive in the include file <owl\bitset.h> (found at the end of the include file), if it is used.

DOS-example (analogous for Windows):

#define __MINMAX_DEFINED        // use STL's generic min and max templates
#define __USE_STL               // exclude BC++'s redundant operator definitions
#include <classlib\defs.h>      // use BC++4.5 bool definition

// STL include files
#include "vector.h"

// C++ standard include files
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cstring.h>
#include <classlib\alloctr.h>
#include <owl\bitset.h>
#include <iostream.h>
void main (void)
{
  vector<int> v(1, 4);
  cout << v[0];
}
