writing or building Std C++ code on the Symbian platform. </p>

    return doSomething();

    }</codeblock> <p> <b>Solution</b>  </p> <p>The build error is caused because

this code violates rule 5 under the <xref href="GUID-C9D4D586-58BF-5676-A53F-9C3A51101430.dita">Guidelines

for Writing Standard C++ Libraries</xref> section. As per the rule, a static

library of target type <codeph>LIB</codeph> cannot be linked against an <codeph>STDEXE</codeph> or <codeph>STDDLL</codeph>,

unless it has the <codeph>MMP</codeph> keyword, STDCPP in its <filepath>.mmp</filepath> file. </p> <p>You

can fix the build error by adding <codeph>STDCPP</codeph> in the <filepath>operator_new_failure_example_lib.mmp</filepath> file

as shown in the following code: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-8EA4BD46-ADBC-5243-9B3A-14BCA2767424" xml:space="preserve">//operator_new_failure_example_lib.mmp
