Yeah, it's C++. The editor is Dev-C++ and compiler is Mingw. Actually the compiler isn't a beta but the editor is.

I've used Dev-C++ before, but I didn't know it was a beta. Just thought it was a free compiler.

Dev-C++ is a free and open source. I'm using Version 5 with is still a beta. Version 4 is the latest official Version.

Gees wish I could help but thanks for that Last line "There must be something terribly wrong with your code. Please fix it." That's just freeking hillareous!!!!

Several years ago, I remember experimenting with a library of C++ code called the Standard Template Library which implements code for a container class called a Vector. At that time, I don't believe most compilers automatically supported the Standard Template Library and you had to separately download the STL and include it in your library path when you built your programs.

I haven't done anything with C++ recently. But I thought they added the Standard Template Library to the official language specification. But again, I could be wrong since I've been using other Languages including Borland Delphi more recently.

If I were you, I would do google searches using the name of the compiler with phrases such as either STL or Standard Template Library and see if the compiler supports the STL. Alternatively, you could do internet searches for the STL and see if it is possible to download it and such.

I think they did add it to the latest Version of GCC (Versions 3.0 and later) However, I don't know if it was added to mingw or not.

Zarix: I do suggest trying the latest official Version (Version 4). It is possible that the beta is using a different Version of mingw, and if that different Version of mingw is based on a Version of GCC > 3.0, it's buggy to all hell, which could explain the weird errors.

If you really don't want to switch Versions, send me or post somewhere the code to the program and tell what libraries it uses and I'll take a look.
