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:

Answer 1

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.
