Appendix D.5 Standard C library headers [depr.c.headers] leads me to believe otherwise.

Splitting hairs. is deprecated with preference for <cstring> (not <string>), but the functionality contained in both is identical. The only difference is in which namespace names are placed. This is not the case with <iostream> and . is a non-standard header, often still provided by compiler vendors for compatibility with the pre-standard non-template based iostreams. Using can result in undefined behavior, as is the case when you mix use of it with use of <iostream>, while use of is still 100% conforming even if it's use is discouraged in favor of <cstring>. Granted, my statement was not fully correct and likely caused some confusion, but your response just made things worse. Bill Kempf
