C++ cout & cin dead ???

juby · 02-07-2003, 05:49 AM

Hello there,
I am using gcc 3.2 version on redhat 8, I want to program in c++, but
i find that using cout << & cin >> is deprecated and i have to compile with
-Wno-deprecated to get my programs work.. can any one throw some light on thismatter.. I am a newbie to c++. Does it mean that cout & cin will no longer be used in c++ ?

it's not deprecated as a concept, unless it's already not the way forward and saviour of programming and i never knew... what i *think* might have changed is the namespace it is in. i believe it was exported by default from std:: but shouldn't be any longer. make sure you are saying "using namespace std;" before using cout / cin or maybe just use the full name "std::cout" rather than just cout. of course i might be talking gibberish. that's been known to happen.

my comment and/or question is along these same lines:

i always include:
#include<iostream.h>

and get a warning. Besides adding the no deprecated flag in the compile instructions, how do i avoid this warning?

I try using just iostream and then i get the warning that cout and cin are undeclared functions.

How do i get rid of the warning? I am using Anjuta IDE and not the cli g++

The answer is in the thread moeminhtun linked to.
