Summary: (with fix) error C2679: no operator .. with stlp_std::string

Initial Comment:
vs2010 with STLPort.5.2.1 and Boost.1_52
XP SP3

error:
error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'stlpd_std::string'


this happens with the files
ql\currency.cpp (26)
ql\errors.cpp : lines 53,56,58
ql\patterns\observable.hpp : line 140

The reason is that stlport doesn't give an implicit conversion from string to c_str() when needed (but I don't know what is the current standard on this specific point).

The fixes is just to provide the c_str() member.
We cannot use a str() member because it's not given with STLPort.


So here the fixes for the different files:
ql\currency.cpp : line 26
            return out << c.code().c_str();

ql\errors.cpp : lines 53,56,58
        std::ostringstream msg;
        #ifdef QL_ERROR_FUNCTIONS
        if (function != "(unknown)")
            msg << function.c_str() << ": ";
        #endif
        #ifdef QL_ERROR_LINES
        msg << "\n  " << file.c_str() << "(" << line << "): \n";
        #endif
        msg << message.c_str();
        return msg.str();


ql\patterns\observable.hpp : line 140
        QL_ENSURE(successful,
                  "could not notify one or more observers: " << errMsg.c_str() );

Message:
I must add that probably this error comes with STLPort only
The fix should be valid also without STLPort
so I wouldn't surround the fixes with the condition:
#ifdef _STLPORT_VERSION
#endif

By doing this the fixes would be like, of course:

ql\currency.cpp : line 26
#ifdef _STLPORT_VERSION
return out << c.code().c_str();
#else
return out << c.code();
#endif
