1. path.hpp =========== 1.1. The BCC workaround is quite clean. If it doesn't make any sense to (statically) override the operator=(string_type) or the string() member functions of basic_path<...> it would be safe to use it as the default implementation, I figure. 1.2. If VC7.0 can handle this kind of deduction it would be worth a try to see if bypassing can be avoided (I don't have this compiler installed). 1.3. There was workaround bypassing the operators for BCC 5.8.1, I don't think it's a good idea because it's likely my workaround (tested with 5.6.4, without bypassing) works for the newer version, too. Someone should adjust TESTED_AT, after it's done. 2. convenience.hpp ================== The workaround was originally posted by Alisdair Meredith but seems it hasn't been applied, yet (so I added it for completeness and kept TESTED_AT with the version number of the new compiler -- I couldn't double-check because I don't have this version). 3. fstream.hpp ============== The tweak makes things compile with some versions of the GCC parser, that mistake the open bracket of the explicit function template argument list for an operator (which seems to be the case with that gcc-3.2.3-linux regression). OK to commit?
