Yes. Two things can be wrong: the documentation and the newsgroup
you're posting to. You should either pick a different library
implementation, or complain to your compiler vendor about the
documentation being incorrect. In any case, your code if fine
as far as C++ is concerned. Perhaps you can get more help in
a forum dedicated to programming on "this one particular platform"
or devoted to the compiler you're using on that platform...
