STL List/Iterator problems with Visual C++

[Guest_imported]

The following piece of code should compile:

using namespace std;
void test() {
list<int> l;
list<int>::iterator i;

i = l.begin();
while (i != l.end()) {
i++;
}
}

But it gives me the following errors:
error C2667: '!=' : none of 2 overload have a best conversion
error C2593: 'operator !=' is ambiguous

Is this some incompatibility between STL and Visual6?
How can it be solved?

Thanks in advance!

Nothing wrong with the code. It should work in visual6. You should check the project settings.

I´ve, and I´ve checked options on the net.
I heard STLPort might fix it but I can´t figure out where to set the settings... I´m very new to Visual C++, I´ve only used Metrowerks CodeWarrior for MacOS before.

a clean way is to use visual c++ 6 AppWizard to create a new &quot;win32 console application&quot; and put your STL code into the main() function then test it.

Seems to me that the compiler is finding multiple operator!=(). I would check through your source and see if you have a global operator!=() defined. Meaning, look for:

operator!=(const std::list<int>::iterator&, const std::list<int>::iterator&) const;

Note: <int> could be replaced by a template <> parameter in a definition that's floating out there.

Something of that variation. It looks like your compiler is finding multiple operator!=(). Two actually, if the compiler error you typed in is correct.
