About std::remove

[About std::remove]

I am using the Borland c++ compiler 5.6 .
This problem is about remove algorithm in STL and remove file function in
<cstdio> .

This is a code can work.
-----------------------------------------
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
...

remove(XX.begin(), XX.end(), xxValue);

...
-----------------------------------------
OK.

But this does not work.
----------------------------------------
#include <algorithm>
...

std::remove(XX.begin(), XX.end(), xxValue);

...
----------------------------------------
Can not compile it because the compiler think the "std::remove" is the
"remove(const char *)" in <cstdio>.

Strange. The prototypes of the two remove() function are very different.
Can you compile the following program?

#include <algorithm>
#include <cstdio>
#include <string>

int main()
{
std::string XX="hello";
std::remove(XX.begin(), XX.end(), 'h'); //STL's remove
std::remove("hello.tmp"); //C remove
}

It compiles and runs without any problem with C++ Builder 4.0. If your
compiler refuses to compile it, you should probably try a different
compiler instead.
