Re: [Dev-C++] wstring in 4.9.7.0

[Dave W. <orb...@ne...>]

right... i found the typedef in
    $devcpp/include/g++-3/string :

// Main header for the -*- C++ -*- string classes.

#ifndef __STRING__
#define __STRING__

#include <std/bastring.h>

extern "C++" {
typedef basic_string <char> string;
// typedef basic_string <wchar_t> wstring;
} // extern "C++"

#endif


btw_____this matches exactly the file on my linux box (rh
7.1)_________/usr/include/g++-3/string :)


why is it commented out?

especially when there is an entry in the stdlib.ChangeLog stating that it
has been UNcommented ...

so i uncommented it, and i tried this :

#include <string>
#include <iostream.h>

void main (void) {
    std::wstring fish;
    fish = (wchar_t)"fish"; //i shouldn't have to typecast this should i
    cout << fish << endl;
}


and the output is "0", which makes me think i'm missing something with how
wstrings are handled in the gnu std:: templates ...?

so this is why its commented out: because there are no operators /
translators yet for wchar_t types (of course constructing a translator is
daunting for me ...)

what do you think mike? anyone?
i think the fix to this problem would make it into the next gcc release?
