LNK1104: Libcimt - Finding references to Old STL vs. New STL in libs

[Lance]

I'm trying to migrate a VC++ 6 project to VS .NET 2003, and have hit the
LNK1104 - libcimt.lib problem where there's some code still referencing the
old STL library.

I've verified all our code uses the new STL headers.

Can I use "dumpbin /symbols" to check each 3rd party library we use to see
if it uses the old vs. new STL library ? How do I tell if the references
are for the old vs new STL?

Thanks for any pointers....

LNK1104: cannot open file 'filename' !?

Why not use the /VERBOSE parameter in the linker !?
This will also let you find the depending LIB/OBJ.

Do you need a memory-leak finder ?

Everything in the C++ standard library is in the std namespace, while
"classic iostreams" (aka libcimt.lib) is in the global namespace. Further,
standard iostreams are templates, while classic iostreams are not.

Suggestion: do a dumpbin/symbols on libcimt.lib to see what they look like:
you should be able to easily pick them out from standard iostreams because,
for example, there's no class iostream in the standard library - instead,
there's a typedef basic_iostream<...> iostream.

Carl -

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
