Hi,

sorry, but that is not even close to a minimal example.

Your problem is somewhere here (as you stated in another mail):

std::string s = "test";             // OK
char_string cs(s.c_str(), alloc_inst);   // OK and thanks
string y = (char_string) cs;               // pblm

Is you could send a sample program with just these lines in the main 
function and the required includes/typedefs.

Nothing more. Lets focus on the problem, please.

Regards,

Roland
