------- Comment #21 from pcarlini at suse dot de 2007-04-03 19:26 ------- A few issues of the current std::string should be really in suspended status, thus clarifying that cannot be fixed within the current ABI. Anyway, in the meanwhile, people are encouraged to try <ext/vstring.h>, a new, versatile implementation which provides both a non-reference-counted-type implementation (by default), or an improved reference-counted one (no alignment issues at all).
