------- Comment #3 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2008-12-15 18:50 ------- By the way, in gcc4.3.x (and 4.4.x of course), <cstring> is not included anymore by <iostream> as an implementation detail (it could, it's allowed by Standard), thus this specific issue is strictly speaking moot now. But <cstring> still injects declarations in the global namespace too, this is 6257.
