Errors using stringstream with ESP8266 (Arduino IDE) [duplicate] - c++

Question

This question already has an answer here:
Linking error using Arduino library with c++'s stringstream
(1 answer)
Closed 4 years ago.
I'm using an ESP8266 with the Arduino IDE to work on a microcontroller project. However I also want to use it as an opportunity to learn more about C++. I'm trying to deserialize a string like "key1:value1;key2:value2;..." into a map of strings, and I came across this question which seemed relevant: Parsing a comma-delimited std::string
So I put it into a function like
void SimpleKeyPairs::deserializeKeyPairs(std::string input, std::map<std::string, std::string>* output)
{
std::stringstream ss(input);
std::string key;
std::string value;
while(ss.good()) {
std::getline(ss, key, ':');
std::getline(ss, value, ';');
output->insert(std::make_pair(key, value));
}
}
However I'm getting compiler errors (copied from IDE) and unfortunately I can't figure out what I need to fix. I did isolate the problem to the line std::stringstream ss(input); but I'm not sure what the issue is.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks to Zebrafish for pointing me to this question about sstream with Arduino. Apparently it is difficult to include a lot of std c++ in Arduino projects, including stringstream.
This led me to find this answer, which recommends staying away from Arduino String. I used it to revise my function to this:
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <map>
void SimpleKeyPairs::deserializeKeyPairs(std::string input, std::map<std::string, std::string>* output)
{
char* inputChars = const_cast<char*>(input.c_str());
char* key;
char* value;
key = strtok(inputChars, ":");
value = strtok(NULL, ";");
while(key != NULL && value != NULL) {
output->insert(std::make_pair(key, value));
key = strtok(NULL, ":");
value = strtok(NULL, ";");
}
}
