------- Additional Comments From pcarlini at suse dot de 2005-06-07 21:54 ------- Hi Benjamin. I see: basically, we forgot to implement the stringbug::showmanyc virtual. Strictly speaking the current behavior is correct wrt the standard but indeed providing the natural one (as you are doing) improves consistency and QoI. If I read the patch correctly, besides testsuite and clean-ups, you basically implemented the expected showmanyc and that's definitely a nice idea!
