I can't believe that I'm the first person to fall foul of this - any library that relies heavily on templates risks falling into the same trap.
<snip> It's true that someone using STL strings has the potential to see this bug but I doubt there are allot of template libraries out there pulling the same memory trick or doing so with the same catastrophic results. In addition, this is not the first time this has come up as an issue (for Cygwin or other platforms) in one form or another. Here's a good reference: <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16612> There they recommend the "--enable-fully-dynamic-string" flag as a solution for this particular problem but I agree if the "-frepo" will solve this as well, it's better because it manages templates better overall and aligns with Linux behavior. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
