inherit std::vector using constructors

Question

This question must have been asked more than once, but I cannot find a working answer anywhere.  The goal is to create a class based on the std::vector class and use the range checking in addition. The code, literally taken from a book by Stroustrup (sp?), is below. I can't get it to work, it won't compile on VS2013.  It is the statetement 'using vector<T>::vector;' that is the culprit.

Error 1 error C2886: 'vector<T,std::allocator<_Ty>>' : symbol cannot be used in a member using-declaration c:\insightmontrex\ver12.0\src\anytest.cpp 8 1 AnyTest

Error 3 error C2664: 'Vector<int>::Vector(const Vector<int> &)' : cannot convert argument 1 from 'int' to 'const Vector<int> &' c:\insightmontrex\ver12.0\src\anytest.cpp 17 1 AnyTest

 Does anyone know how to handle this properly?

#include<vector>

usingstd::vector;

template<typenameT>

classVector : publicstd::vector<T>

{

public:

usingvector<T>::vector; // inherit constructors***

T& operator { returnvector<T>::at(i); } // range-checked

constT& operator const{ returnvector<T>::at(i); } // for const objects;

};

intmain()

{

Vector <int> V(5);

}

Hi Henk,

You concern regarding the usage Visual Studio 2013 app is best being handled in MSDN forums. Here's the link.
