Which Sun C++ compiler has the fix for std::basic_ios::copyfmt() warnings ?

[qazmlp]

When I compile my C++ source code, I am getting hundreds of following
warning.
"/opt/SUNWspro/WS6U1/include/CC/Cstd/./ios", line 148: Warning:
std::basic_ios< char, std::char_trait s<char>>::copyf mt hides the
function std::ios_base:: copyfmt(const std::ios_base&) .

I understand that, this is a design flaw in Sun C++ compiler
implementation.

Here is the compiler installed in my machine:
$ pkginfo SPROcpl
application SPROcpl Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 Compiler C++

Here is the OS info:
$ uname -a
SunOS blrsn62 5.8 Generic_108528-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60


Does anybody know whether these errors are fixed and in which version
?

Sounds like a feature not a bug. The warning simly tolds You, that You have
two functions with the same signature in different classes. Maybe You have
a definition like

template <typename char_type, typename traits_type>
class ios: public basic_ios<char_ type, traits_type>, public ios_base {...}

where You could get some problems calling ios.copyfmt(). AFAIK the standard
don't allow this call, maybe Your C++ compiler allows it.

This would have been a feature if the error is actually in
my code. As I know, this is a globally known warning reported
in Sun Compiler(you can browse for the older postings regarding this).
That is actually a design bug in C++ headers available in Sun machine.
That's why I asked whether this is already fixed already and the version
where this bug is fixed.

Thanks for your reply!
