It seems that given:

template<class charT> bool basic_config_file_iterator<charT>::getline(std::string& s) { return std::getline(*is, s); }
Metrowerks decides to use the second, unspecialized version, even for basic_config_file_iterator<wchar_t>, and this surely fails to compile.
I've sent a reduced test case to the Metrowerks front end engineer.
Thanks.
In the meantime I can think of two workarounds:
1. Specialize the entire basic_config_file_iterator class on wchar_t. or
This might be a good idea, especially since two other compilers -- borland and VC7 have problems with the same member function specialization.
2. Provide an inlined definition for the specialized member in the header.
Do you think that would help? - Volodya
