The C++ specifiction only requires basic_string<char> and
basic_string<wchar_t> to be implemented by the compiler.

You should be able to implement basic_string<> on a POD ("plain old
data") type like int, but you would have to implement your own
char_traits<int> template specialization first (see the
specification).

basic_string<string> is not supported by C++ at all, because string
itself is not POD.


Hope this helps, benny
