------- Comment #1 from pcarlini at suse dot de 2007-10-29 16:28 ------- A couple of quick comments. First, there is nothing special about std::string, the same happens with std::vector<char>, for example, because really the issue is about multiple constructors. Second, I checked that at least 2 other compilers + library behave the same as GCC. In short, I don't think this issue is valid, there is a real ambiguity in the user code.
