VS.NET 2003: Where is class ios_base defined?!

[Boris]

After including sstream the compiler reports hundreds of errors. They are
all caused by a missing ios_base definition. When I search for ios_base in
the installation directory of VS.NET 2003 I find only seven files with the
..cpp ending. So where is ios_base defined?!

After including sstream the compiler reports hundreds of errors.

This program compiles for me with no problems:

#include <sstream>

int main()
{
std::stringstream s;
s << 1;
return 0;
}

What errors do you get?

They
are all caused by a missing ios_base definition. When I search for
ios_base in the installation directory of VS.NET 2003 I find only
seven files with the .cpp ending. So where is ios_base defined?!

In <xiosbase>

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

In <xiosbase>. Are you looking for ios_base or std::ios_base?

I haven't had any problems with sstream before. That's why I wondered where
the hundreds of compile time errors came from. Meanwhile I could solve the
problem by rearranging the order of included project header files. I don't
know what's causing the compile time errors in the other header files and
don't have time in the moment to fix other developers' code but for now it
works.
