Yes, that and more. And, remember, we cannot change class layouts, add data members, nothing... > No, no objections. Ok. In the meanwhile you have various options, your workaround indeed, mine, slightly more clean but slightly less efficient, you can restructure a bit the loops to avoid string assigns after reserve. Ah, another possibility would be simply avoid completely the assigns and use clear() and +=, that should work exactly as fast as your best hack so far ;) -- pcarlini at suse dot de changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WONTFIX http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29037
