>Description:
#include <string>


class Test
{
  public:

  typedef int IntType;
  typedef string StringType;
};

Compiling the above test program generates the following incorrect error:

test.cxx:11: ISO C++ forbids declaration of `string' with no type
test.cxx:11: parse error before `;' token

The same code works under gcc 2.95.x.
