---------------------------------------
Could not reproduce on MSVC 10 with stdcxx 4.2.1 and 4.2.2
> attempting to create a std::string of size 65535 or greater fails with

> Key: STDCXX-1057
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-1057
> Project: C++ Standard Library
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: 21. Strings
> Affects Versions: 4.2.1, 4.2.x, 4.3.x, 5.0.0
> Environment: Solaris 10 and 11, RedHat Linux, OpenSuSE Linux
> SUN C++ Compilers 12.1, 12.2, 12.3
> Defect is independent of compiler and platform
> Reporter: Stefan Teleman
> Labels: conformance, features, standards, test
> Fix For: 4.2.x, 4.3.x, 5.0.0
>
>
> in member function:
> size_type basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Allocator>::max_size();
> the maximum size of a basic_string is restricted to less than 65535 bytes.
> The Standard is ambiguous as to what the max_size() of a std::string should
> actually be (see LWG Core Issue 197). However, less than 65535 bytes for
> the max_size of a std::string is rather small. GNU libstdc++ and stlport4
> set std::string::max_size to (SIZE_MAX / 4) (i.e. 1GB). Solaris sets it
> to SIZE_MAX.
> Perennial CPPVS explicitly tests for the creation of a std::string of size
> greater than 65535. In the current stdcxx implementation, this test fails.
> The max_size of a std::string should be significantly greater than 65535
> bytes.
> Patch for 4.2.1 to follow shortly.
