#include <locale> int main() { return std::isupper('c', std::locale()); // error overload not found. } but can be fixed with: #include <locale> namespace std{ using stlport::isupper; } int main() { return std::isupper('c', std::locale()); // OK got it now } I'm not sure if this is due to a compiler bug or what, but basically it's due to the way that STLport is set up: the names are declared in namespace stlport (which is an alias for either _STL or _STLD depending upon the build), and then imported into std with: namespace std{ using namespace stlport; } in STLports _suffix.h. This works fine for most cases, but not when the name is already present in namespace std (as is the case with the is* functions for example).
