in reply to strawberry perl + Inline::CPP + <sstream> compilation error

Maybe somebody already solved similar problems?

Or maybe not ?
The failing script can be reduced to: 
use strict;
use warnings;

use Inline CPP => <<'CPP';

#include <sstream>

CPP

1;

[download]
which (I think) still produces the same errors.

This would suggest that there's some fundamental incompatibility between perl.h and the sstream header with mingw-w64 compilers.
But it's not clear to me just what that incompatibility is. (We might need someone with some C++ insights to chime in.)

Do you really need to include sstream ?

UPDATE: For those interested, the original post has been cross-posted to stackoverflow.

Cheers,

    <sstream> is used by dlib (dlib.net). I am using dlib in my project.

      I guess that means you'll need sstream ;-)

      There's a reply on stackoverflow that indicates that the problem is that one of the standard perl headers defines "setbuf".
      I find that the following compiles ok for me: 
      use strict;
use warnings;

use Inline CPP => <<'CPP';

#undef seekdir
#ifdef _WIN32
#undef setbuf
#endif
#include <sstream>

CPP

1;

      So see how that works for you.
