Message: [QUOTE="CBFalconer, post: 2412493"] I advise extreme caution in using that package. The following is a quote from Hsiehs own documentation: "Bstrlib has been tested on the following compilers: Microsoft Visual C++ Watcom C/C++ (32 bit flat) Intel's C/C++ compiler (on Windows) The GNU C/C++ compiler (on Windows/Linux on x86 and PPC64) Turbo C" Note that he does not specify the compiler versions, and that functioning via a particular compiler is much different from adhering to the ISO C standard. He has also been known to advocate that ints are always 32 bits, or that shifting signed quantities is harmless. Meanwhile the string operations specified by the Standard are guaranteed portable and available in all hosted systems. [/QUOTE]
