--- Comment #6 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-01-08 12:41:16 UTC --- (In reply to comment #5) > Also found another similar problem while compiling on Windows with mingw-w64. > Including <chrono> also pollutes the global namespace. In general you'll just have to live with some of these bugs, we're not going to reimplement the entire system's libc so libstdc++ has to be built on top of OS features and not all of them can easily be hidden or redeclared with names reserved names. > PS. Should I report this specific problem to mingw-w64 instead? No, it's not mingw-specific
