Bug#96539: libstdc++2.10-dev: Error in bastring.h

[peter@softwolves.pp.se]

Package: libstdc++2.10-dev
Version: 1:2.95.2-14
Severity: important

In bastring.h:

  const charT* c_str () const
    { const charT* null_str = ""; 
      if (length () == 0) return null_str; terminate (); return data (); }

The second line will _fail_ if charT is not char, which it for instance
is when instanciating the wstring class. Trying to use c_str() on a wstring
object gives this compilation error:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.2/../../../../include/g++-3/std/bastring.h:335:
initialization to `const __wchar_t *' from `const char *'
