Hi,

One of my unit tests is failing because following code throw an exception (gcc 3.2.3 linux):

#include <list> #include <string>

int main() { std::list<char> l;

l.push_back( 'a' ); l.push_back( 'b' ); l.push_back( 'c' );

std::string( l.begin(), l.end() );

return 0; }

Does it supposed to work? Is there workarounds?

Yes, that should work. Looks like a bug in gcc 3.2.3; I can see the crash here, too. gcc 3.1, gcc 3.3.5 and gcc 3.4 work correctly (gcc 2.95.3 is unable to deal with the templates involved). Regards, m
