   Standard C++ Library(s)
  im sure you've gotten this all the time, but I need to find a copy of the standard C++ library, the one that has within it iostream could someone point me in the right direction?thank you.   
  A copy of the documentation on the library?   ;  I need the header files it contains   ;  They should come with your compiler. When you #include <vector>, you're including part of the standard library.   ;  Im using codeblocks it doesnt come with what I need.   ;  Codeblocks is not a compiler. It is an IDE. Grab Visual C++ compiler or MinGW compiler. Codeblocks can be setup to work with either. That said, if you get a hold of VC++ Express, you aren't going to need Codeblocks.   ;Quote:Original post by oler1sThat said, if you get a hold of VC++ Express, you aren't going to need Codeblocks.Agree. Check here for some reasons why VC++ is the way to go.   ;Quote:Original post by AristeAgree.

Check here for some reasons why VC++ is the way to go.I love how the author of that article brought up a heap of points about standard C++ features (smart pointers/'SC++L') a third-party library that works on anything (aka Boost) and a couple of items that are just as replicable on other IDE's.That being said, if all you ever intend to develop on is Windows then sure, go for Visual Studio. I'll be sticking to Code::Blocks myself.
