This means the Berkeley DB methods that used to take an ostream object as a parameter now expect a std::ostream. Specifically, the following methods have changed:</p> <blockquote><pre>DbEnv::set_error_stream Db::set_error_stream Db::verify</pre></blockquote> <p>On many platforms, the old and the new C++ styles are interchangeable; on some platforms (notably Win32), they are incompatible. If your code uses these methods and you have trouble with the 4.0 release, you should update code that looks like this:</p> <blockquote><pre>#include <iostream.h> #include <db_cxx.h> <p> void foo(Db db) { db.set_error_stream(&cerr); }</pre></blockquote> <p>to look like this:</p> <blockquote><pre>#include <iostream> #include <db_cxx.h> <p> using std::cerr; <p> void foo(Db db) { db.set_error_stream(&cerr); }</pre></blockquote> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right><a href="../upgrade.4.0/java.html"><img src="../../images/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a><a href="../toc.html"><img src="../../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a><a href="../upgrade.4.0/asr.html"><img src="../../images/next.gif" alt="Next"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1><a href="../../sleepycat/legal.html">Copyright (c) 1996-2003</a> <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com">Sleepycat Software, Inc.</a> - All rights reserved.</font> </body> </html>
