Re: [Cppunit-devel] Small patch for cppunit on Alpha Tru64 Unix 5.1

[Steve M. R. <ste...@vi...>]

I'll endorse Baptiste's concern: it is extremely dangerous to add
random #defines to the code --- especially ones with leading
underscores!  If the symbol is needed to enable a feature on some
platforms, it can be detected for in the configure script.

Petter: what feature is missing if __USE_STD_IOSTREAM is NOT defined?
Does the problem appear in Tru64 4.x, by chance?  I have a 4.0f system
(on which I could work out a configure test), but no 5.x systems.
