They're not missing as such. hash_map and hash_multimap are not part of 
the C++ standard, so no compiler is required to support them. You need 
to be aware of this whenever you choose to use them. Also, because they 
are not standard, there may not be consistency of interface either.

Maybe I've missed something, but why can't you use stringstream?

e.g.

std::ostringstream oss;

oss << "My dice roll = " << itoa(comp_roll) << eoln;
oss << "Your dice roll = " << itoa(player_roll) << eoln;

std::string s(oss.str());
// work with s....
