Hi Liviu,

Your test either doesn't work on my environment. I have gcc built by
myself on SuSe Linux 9.1.  

Thanks,
Anton Pevtsov

Hi Anton,

I used a slightly modified test case:

$ uname -a
Linux skynet 2.6.14.5 #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 9 13:59:21 MST 2006 i686
unknown unknown GNU/Linux

$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.0.2
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

$ cat t.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

static const char* test = "bcabcdef";

int main (void)
{
    std::string s ("abcdef");
    s.insert (s.begin (), s.begin () + 1, s.begin () + 3);

    std::cout << "Expected " << test << " and got " << s << '\n';

    return 0;
}

$ make t
gcc -c -I/build/nicoara/stdcxx/include/ansi -D_RWSTDDEBUG
-D_RWSTD_USE_CONFIG -I/build/nicoara/stdcxx/build/include
-I/build/nicoara/stdcxx/include -I/build/nicoara/stdcxx/examples/include
 -pedantic -nostdinc++ -g  -W -Wall -Wcast-qual -Winline -Wshadow
-Wwrite-strings -Wno-long-long -Wcast-align
/build/nicoara/stdcxx/examples/manual/t.cpp
gcc t.o -o t  -L/build/nicoara/stdcxx/build/lib -lstd11s  -lsupc++ -lm

and got:

$ ./t
Expected bcabcdef and got bcabcdef

Gcc was built by myself on a Slackware 10.1 box from GNU sources (not RH
or anything).

Please let me know if I am missing anything.
