Hello list,

I know this is not boost related, but I will appreciate it if anyone 
could shed some light on what is happening here?

Compiler error:
xml.cpp: In member function ‘xml::document& 
xml::document::parse(std::vector<unsigned char, std::allocator<unsigned 
char> >&)’:
xml.cpp:25: error: no matching function for call to 
‘xml::document::characters(std::basic_string<unsigned int, 
std::char_traits<unsigned int>, std::allocator<unsigned int> >)’
xml.hpp:24: note: candidates are: virtual void 
xml::document::characters(unicode::string)

unicode::string definition starts:

namespace unicode {
     typedef std::size_t code_point;
     class string : public std::basic_string<code_point> {

Is "std::basic_string<unsigned int, std::char_traits<unsigned int>, 
std::allocator<unsigned int> >" not the same as "unicode::string"? If 
not why is it not?

Etienne
