Thorsten Ottosen wrote > Ideally, yes. I would prefer .c_str() for const char* conversion and > str() for std::string In date-time there are several 'to_string' functions that provide different ouput formats so a single 'str()' method isn't going to be enough. As for c_str(), you can use this once you have std::string. From my view there is no point in trying to force fit this functionality into an inadequate interface. Finally, by keeping these as free functions dates and times can be used without including I/O headers which the 'to_string' functions use.
