#6540: Erroneous default argument in basic_string::compare overload
------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: Erik Jensen <Erik.Jensen@â¦> | Owner: igaztanaga
Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: container
Version: Boost 1.49.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: |
------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
basic_string in string.hpp contains the following definition:
{{{
int compare(size_type pos1, size_type n1, const CharT* s, size_type n2 =
npos) const {...}
}}}
However, n2 should not have a default argument. It interferes with calling
"int compare(size_type pos1, size_type n1, const CharT* s) const", and a
value of npos makes no sense for n2 anyway (it would mean the passed c
string had "infinite" length).
Thank you,
Erik Jensen
