I am porting a program from windows that uses both windows
specific header files, like <winsock.h> and <process.h>, and c++
standard template library header files, like <string> and <vector>.
I only have the g++ template library, and it depends on the gnu
libc. However, the program I am building depends on the msvc
libc. Thus I have impossible dependencies in the same program.
There are several possible solutions:
1. use a different c++ stl; one that is not specific to gnu
libc. I don't know of any others for linux
2. make a wrapper that lets g++ stl build with msvcrt. This
would not be very difficult i believe; the reason the g++ stl
won't build is because libc exports functions in the std
namespace if __cplusplus is defined
3. change something so that stdlib.h is not defined both places
(gnu libc and msvcrt)
What is the proper solution? I could probably implement 2 and
submit a patch; it would just involve implementing the header
file <cstdlib>
