I've had this argument with Ascend level 2 support and now with Oracle support. My problem is that the Oracle PRO*C Precompiler spews an error on the following line:

#include <algorithm>

but it doesn't spew on:
#include <algorithm.h>

nor does it spew on
#include <map>

nor
#include <map.h>

Now this wouldn't be a problem, except that algorithm is defined in ANSI C++ as a STL header file. Of course they are quoting the documentation that states:

"When you use the preprocessor include directive you must include the filename extension (such as .h)"

However, this doesn't say that a file MUST have an extension, and this is actually contrary to what I believe the ANSI standard states.

So, who do I report this bug to, is anyone else seeing this, and why is Oracle support so pig-headed?

I would have been much nicer about this, but this has been going on for a couple of weeks now. I don't appreciate being told that I'm stupid.
