[1] How do I pass the buffer and capacity to the implementation while allowing both fixed_string_base and fixed_string access to the basic_string interface? I have chosen to route the data through one of the basic_string constructors, requiring a const_cast. This is the best approach AFAICS.
I haven't looked at your recent implementation, and I don't presently have the time, so I really don't know what you're talking about. If you can explain the dependencies to which you refer, I'd appreciate it. I think it has bearing on the swap() discussion. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
