c++.stlsoft - BC++ 6 basic_file_path_buffer bug

reply "Pablo Aguilar" <paguilarg hotmail.com> writes:
I'm trying to use basic_file_path_buffer (winstl), but when using a 
variable's size method, it returns 5. I traced into the CPU view, and 
noticed that the constructor's passing 5 both when Win9x or WinNT are 
detected...

I can't figure out where that 5 is coming from. _MAX_PATH's defined to be 
260 (just tested it...) so, what's up with that 5?

Which compiler? Which OS? Any other info? Can you email me the test prg

Worked around. I'll post a patch tonight.

Heavens only knows why Borland generates the code that it does. I should have
picked it up in unit-testing though, and 
not blame some compiler, however odd it behaves on a regular basis.

Hmm. I did implement that check it in the unittest. Even more odd. Even more investigations necessary ... ;)

There was none to be had. Borland generates the correct code in the unit-test (which has no obviously different code context to your test program), but does not in your test code. Sigh! Well, we have a workaround that works, and is entirely benign (in terms of portability and efficiency), so I guess we'll just live with it. 1.8.2 coming soon.
