[Adobe-source-devel] Problems with narrow

[Foster T. B. <fbr...@ad...>]

Hey all,

I have a cygwin-gcc-specific issue with the following chunk of code:

> std::istream::int_type	c_int(stream_m->get());
> char					c(0);
>
> c = std::use_facet<std::ctype<wchar_t> >(std::locale()).narrow(c_int, 
> '?');

In the cygwin gcc that I have (gcc 3.4.4) I get the following error in 
the above line of code:

> Exception: St8bad_cast

Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas of a possible workaround? Anyone 
know of an easier (yet equally portable) means of narrowing an int_type 
value from a stream::get()?

Blessings,
Foster
