I suggest you check out the free commandlinetools from Borland. It includes a pretty decent C++ compiler, which adheres quite nicely to the standard. It includes a good STL implementation as well. Downsides: it doesn''t come with an IDE and a debugger.

See http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/ for downloads and info.

*grin* Erik - the install program just finished as I read your message.

I''m going to see how Borland copes with my weird template constructions now.

Okay, BCC32 compiles it, no warnings, no errors, and calls the correct functions.

GREAT!

Borland/Inprise just acquired a bit of respect from me, very nice.

This is the template class and main that will not compile under VC6.0 while being correct ANSI C++.

typedef float vector_3f[3];typedef float vector_2f[2];#include template< class vector_type > void Add_vector ( const vector_type &v1, const vector_type &v2, vector_type &v_out ) {  cout << "general add \n";  for( int x = 0; x < 2; x++ )    v_out[x] = v1[x] + v2[x];}inline void Add_vector( const vector_3f &v1, const vector_3f &v2, vector_3f &v_out ){  cout << "3f add \n";  v_out[0] = v1[0] + v2[0];  v_out[1] = v1[1] + v2[1];  v_out[2] = v1[2] + v2[2];}void main( void ){  vector_3f vec_3_a, vec_3_b, vec_3_c;  vector_2f vec_2_a, vec_2_b, vec_2_c;  Add_vector( vec_2_a, vec_2_b, vec_2_c );  Add_vector( vec_3_a, vec_3_b, vec_3_c );}Output:General add3f add  

Victory!
