| The Danger of c-style Strings |

Templated arguments in strings? I have been using strings a lot and I haven't noticed a single templated thing about them, ever. |

I asked the same thing. I guess the other string class has templated arguments, but std::string is just a typedef for basic_string<char>, and basic_string doesn't have templates. |

I'm sorry, but I just don't see why this thread was started. Did anyone NOT know that? Excepting maybe a few beginners who don' have much experience?

So? That doesn't make the "templates are confusing" argument valid. You can happily use std::string and be totally ignorant of templates for the most part (you may be confused by some compiler errors, then again, I've seen way worse errors). |

I use std::string, and I have no idea what a template is. I haven't had a problem with it since the last one I asked about here.

Heh, why do threads like this always end in an argument? |

Hmm, I said something about it being a.cc, and expecting a thread not to end up like that. I forgot who sigged it. |
