STL operator= behavior change with Visual Studio 2010?
- by augnob
Hi,
I am attempting to compile QtScriptGenerator (gitorious) with Visual Studio 2010 (C++) and have run into a compile error. In searching for a solution, I have seen occasional references to compile breakages introduced since VS2008 due to changes in VS2010's implementation of STL and/or c++0x conformance changes.
Any ideas what is happening below, or how I could go about fixing it? If the offending code appeared to be QtScriptGenerator's, I think I would have an easier time fixing it.. but it appears to me that the offending code may be in VS2010's STL implementation and I may be required to create a workaround?
PS. I am pretty unfamiliar with templates and STL. I have a background in embedded and console projects where such things have until recently often been avoided to reduce memory consumption and cross-compiler risks.

Here's some context..
pp-internal.h--
#ifndef PP_INTERNAL_H
#define PP_INTERNAL_H
#include <algorithm>
#include <stdio.h>
namespace rpp {
namespace _PP_internal
{
..
68 template <typename _OutputIterator>
69 void output_line(const std::string &__filename, int __line, _OutputIterator __result)
70 {
71 std::string __msg;
72
73 __msg += "# ";
74
75 char __line_descr[16];
76 pp_snprintf (__line_descr, 16, "%d", __line);
77 __msg += __line_descr;
78
79 __msg += " \"";
80
81 if (__filename.empty ())
82 __msg += "<internal>";
83 else
84 __msg += __filename;
85
86 __msg += "\"\n";
87 std::copy (__msg.begin (), __msg.end (), __result);
88 }
