Boost.Test library test basic_cstring_test.cpp fails to compile on many (all?) platforms using GNU libstdc++. Follows reproducer and the results of compiling it with GNU 4.3.0 and 3.4.6.
Replacing 'utf::basic_cstring<CharT>::size_type' with 'std::size_t' in libs/test/test/basic_cstring_test.cpp makes the problem go away.
Is it a known problem in GNU libstdc++? Does the fact that the implementation does not have to provide specializations of basic_string<> other than for 'char' and 'wchar_t' makes x.cpp below illegal?
Thanks, Boris
x.cpp ----- #include <string>
template<typename T> void foo(T) { std::basic_string<T>::size_type i = 1; }
Aren't you missing a 'typename' in the above ? template<typename T> void foo(T) { typename std::basic_string<T>::size_type i = 1; } should work. HTH, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
