Or should all functions (in all applications and libraries) return const string instead of just string?
Well no, you should make a copy and store it into a variable. There is copying there anyway and if you don't mind returning std::string, you probably don't have problems with performance issues.
But that doesn't look nice and introduces additional variables.
If I find some time, I will have a look. Maybe I'll come up with something.
Thanks. I'm actually wondering, is this really an issue of the current library? If so, why does VC8 not give an error/warning? Could this be a gcc issue instead?
