Building an STL application in Borland C++ Builder 5.0

Question

I am new to Borland C++ builder 5.0.I have used small STL application which is compiled successfully in one machine(Window 2003 Server SP2), but not in another machine (Windows XP machine SP3). I have placed an code snippet and error message

Error E2285 Could not find a match for 'distance<>(const AnsiString *,const AnsiString *,i
nt)

I have opened Borland C++ Form and added the below code in Form Create

#include <vcl.h>
#pragma hdrstop
#include <vector>

using namespace std;
using std::distance;

static const AnsiString Text_FieldsInTypen[]=
{
  "code_segment_national_2"
};

#include "Unit1.h"
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#pragma package(smart_init)
#pragma resource "*.dfm"
TForm1 *Form1;

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner)
        : TForm(Owner)
{
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

void __fastcall TForm1::FormCreate(TObject *Sender)
{
   vector<AnsiString> aVec;
   aVec.push_back("Test");

   const AnsiString*  Iter;
   int Index = 0;
   distance(Text_FieldsInTypen, Iter, Index);

}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer 1

The distance algorithm takes two iterators:

template<class InputIterator>
   typename iterator_traits<InputIterator>::difference_type
      distance(
         InputIterator _First, 
         InputIterator _Last
            );

Not three unrelated arguments.

Iter is also used uninitialized in your code.
