AVR-STL Library

Question

I have a project that I need to use a vector, I have tried to get several libraries to compile with out luck. The one that has gotten the closest is Andy Brown's AVR-STL. I keep getting the error:

C:\Eclipse\eclipse\arduinoPlugin\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\1.6.10\libraries\AVR-STL/pnew.cpp:12:7: error: redefinition of 'void* operator new(size_t, void*)'

I am sure that this is a simple fix, I just have no idea how. If this library is no longer viable then can someone else recommend another one?

Here is the code I am trying to compile

#include "Arduino.h"
#include "iterator"
#include "vector"
#include "pnew.cpp"

std::vector<int> test;

void setup(void) {

    Serial.begin(57600);
}

void loop(void) {

    test.push_back(1);
    Serial.println("Pushed");
}

And the full output:

I've got the "Andy Browns method" of standard library working. But I believe I didn't have the same error as you. A redefinition would mean that something has already been defined, I think you can choose to not include it at some point, since it's already defined. — Paul, Jun 02 '16 at 12:29

It looks like new is redefined. I see that you include cpp file, that contains implementation - this is rather unfortunate design, but that's how it is done.

Anyway, it seems that this file is already being compiled elsewhere. Have you tried to remove this include? What happens if you remove it?

Apart from that problem, you must be aware that dynamic memory management in such small system yelds risk of memory fragmentation that eventually leads to failed allocations.

That's the thing, I have tried excluding the pnew.cpp and believe it or not I get a Undefined message, even if I include Arduino.h before any of this library. – Andy Braham May 12 '16 at 23:25
Are you able to allocate anything using `new`? It should be available since 1.0.5 or something. Try `int *i = new int[5];`. – IOB Toolkit Team May 12 '16 at 23:39
Thats the weird thing about this, I do have the 'new' functionality at runtime thats why I am thinking that it has to do with either an include or header because new is available without using this lib – Andy Braham May 13 '16 at 12:39
