Deprecated Or Antiquated Header

[DanDaMan]

I'm including these three files in my C++ program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream.h>

The C++ compiler I am using (Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2) Allows me to run this program. but I still receive an error message saying:

#warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header. \
Please consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the \
C++ standard. Examples include substituting the <X> header for the <X.h> \
header for C++ includes, or <iostream> instead of the deprecated header \
<iostream.h>. To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated.

Why is this happening and how can I stop it? Thanks in advance.

use cstdio instead of stdio.h and iostream instead of iostream.h

i also had the same pblm and when i used cstdio instead of ,still the compiler was showing error.

What compiler are you using?

[Ancient Dragon]

iostream.h is obsolete. use instead (notice there is no .h extension).

You can replace all three headers with
#include

Mine is showing these three errors

For future reference, errors and warnings are not synonymous. Errors must be fixed because they halt compilation. Warnings can be ignored, though in some cases they suggest problems that are likely to occur at runtime.

Since your compiler clearly supports the modern headers, it's recommended that you use them.

I ALWAYS treat warnings in my own code as errors because most of the time they are errors. We need to know which header files cplusplus is using before we can suggest a solution to fix them.
