> And what do you expect std::string::basic_string means?
I agree it is redundant because it just means std::string::string. I am not
certain why this choice was made in the gdal library. Since posting this I
noticed a few things in the header:
/* Avoid C2614 errors */
#ifdef MSVC_OLD_STUPID_BEHAVIOUR
using std::string;
# define gdal_std_string string
#else
# define gdal_std_string std::string
#endif
/* Remove annoying warnings in Microsoft eVC++ and Microsoft Visual C++ */
#if defined(WIN32CE)
# pragma warning(disable:4251 4275 4786)
#endif
//! Convenient string class based on std::string.
// This class was modified from deriving from std::string to having a string as
a member. When linking against this library, linker errors would be thrown
because
// basic_string was already defined.
It looks like this has more to do with mitigating the old microsoft tool chain
than it does gcc. I apologize if this is the case. I would still greatly
appreciate your input on the comments above. Thank you for your time.
