Problem with TString and ROOT 4.04/02

ROOT
1

Greetings,

when compiling my ROOT classes with the latest development version (4.04/02) and MSVC6 under Windows, I get the following errors on every file that includes TString.h:

c:\root_dev\include\tstring.h(408) : error C2039: ‘atoi’ : is not a member of 'std’
c:\root_dev\include\tstring.h(411) : error C2039: ‘atof’ : is not a member of ‘std’

It didn’t happen with ROOT 4.03/04. I have yet to try this on UNIX platforms.
Am I doing something wrong (such as not purging some kind of old file) ?

Thanks for your help.

In the meantime, I followed the advice a collaborator gave me:
I have commented out the declarations of Atoi and Atof in TString.h.

Of course, this modification prevents the use of these methods. But it allows my classes to compile.

Now this explains everything. Thanks. :wink:
