hello people, as several other people already noted -current doesn't support std::wstring. this is a real pitty as more and more programs tend to use this.
you can test with this simple case:
% cat wchar.cc
#include <string>
int
main(int, char *[])
{
std::wstring test(L"test");
}
% c++ wchar.cc
wchar.cc: In function `int main(int, char**)':
wchar.cc:6: syntax error before `(' token
if programs use std::basic_string<wchar_t> things will get worse:
% cat wchar2.cc
#include <string>
int
main(int, char *[])
{
std::basic_string<wchar_t> test(L"test");
}
% c++ wchar2.cc
/tmp/ccKRNQn4.o: In function `std::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>,
std::allocator<wchar_t> >::basic_string(wchar_t const*, std::allocator<wchar_t>
const&)':
/tmp/ccKRNQn4.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZNSbIwSt11char_traitsIwESaIwEEC1EPKwRKS1_+0x1f):
undefined reference to `std::char_traits<wchar_t>::length(wchar_t const*)'
/tmp/ccKRNQn4.o: In function `std::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>,
std::allocator<wchar_t> >::_S_copy_chars(wchar_t*, wchar_t const*, wchar_t const*)':
/tmp/ccKRNQn4.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZNSbIwSt11char_traitsIwESaIwEE13_S_copy_charsEPwPKwS5_+0x1c):
undefined reference to `std::char_traits<wchar_t>::copy(wchar_t*, wchar_t const*,
unsigned)'
this ain't no fun anymore (and furthermore prevents several program
updates)
would please somebody look into this case and explain why wchar_t
support wasn't enabled?
tim robins already provided a patch that will make stuff working.
cheers
simon
