Bug or feature change

[Durtschi, Larry]

I have the following simplified sample code  that worked fine with GNU 2.96
(IA64 version) 

*********************
#include <string>

main()
{
        const string str = "this is a test";

        cout << "here is str " << str << "\n";
}
*********************

I compiled it with g++ str.cc -o str and on GNU 2.96 this was okay.

When I try to compile the same code on  the GNU 3.2 (IA64) compiler I get
the following error messages

******

str.cc: In function `int main()':
str.cc:5: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `string' with no type
str.cc:5: uninitialized const `string'
str.cc:5: parse error before `=' token
str.cc:7: `cout' undeclared (first use this function)
str.cc:7: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
function
   it appears in.)
str.cc:7: `str' undeclared (first use this function)


I have a lot of experience at C but am relatively new at C++ .   This is a
simple sample of errors I am getting from porting over 2000 source files to
a new OS.  Can anyone point me to what is causing this problem and what I
can do to resolve the issue.

Thank you,
