I'm confused by this. You want the basic type to always act as if it's const, with no way to modify the string at ALL after it's been created?
Yep.
No changing arbitrary content in the string. Concatenation is a process of creating new strings.
But you're allowing assignment. That's not acting "as if it's const, with no way to modify the string" -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
