------- Comment #6 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2009-12-17 10:25 ------- Under linux, it's just unsigned long, which is 64-bit anyway, because actually it's a size_t. Seems strange that we didn't notice yet, but it's well possible that on some 64-bit systems a size_t is an unsigned long long instead of an unsigned long. If it's only that, I don't see anything wrong with just adding the y class to this pattern, I don't see how it could create problems on other systems (if they weren't exporting the symbol by mistake at the ABI baseline .so version they were totally broken anyway, because basic_string cannot work without). In that case, therefore, the corresponding libstdc++ patch is pre-approved.
