Doesn't it 'return' a std::string? If you dislike the current API a small wrapper function can easily handle that.
Right - like this (for example):
std::string hexS ( const std::string &input ) { std::string result; result.reserve ( input.size () * 2 ); // Harry Harrison hex ( input, std::back_inserter ( result )); return result; }
Yep, except that it should not be limited to std::string.
Goodness, you're picky.
Hehe
First you say it needs to "just work on std::string", then you say it shouldn't be limited to std::string.
The iterator-based versions (whose prototypes I posted earlier) work on just about everything.
So could a function like this be added to Boost? Olaf
