Re: [Dev-C++] Bug in dev-c++ header files

Dev-Cpp 4.9.8.x, if I'm not wrong uses MinGW 2.0.0, based on GCC 3.0 
(I'm not sure because I have the editor and the compiler downloaded 
separately). In it fstream.h and any c++ header with extension is 
considered obsolete, so it is in ./include/c++/3.2/backward; which is a 
directory which seems to not be in the default search path, so you have 
to add it with the -I compiler option and, if you don't pass the 
-Wnodeprecated option it will warn about the use of a deprecated header. 
You should use the headers without extension, but don't forget they use 
namespaces, so you'll have to either add the line using namespace std; 
before your code (which breaks the object of namespace), or various 
lines saying using std::whatever in that namespace you use, e.g., 
std::cout, std::endl, etc so you can type simply cout or endl, etc, or 
you'll have to qualify all those standard functions and variables and 
classes with the std:: prefix, saying std::cout <<, std::cin >>, 
std::endl, etc.
