Compiler bugs?

[Sven]

...
Does clsString use templates? That would explain it. Enabling implicit template instantiation through a compiler switch would be an alternative solution in that case.

clsString use templates indirectly (in other classes) but all the template code is in headers. Maybe i can check if somewhere there are template code defined outside the headers.

Are you using the -fno-implicit-templates switch of g++, or any other switch related to templates?

In general, I am not 100% sure whether the behaviour you have described is really related to templates, but at least it sounds as if it might be the case.

Is clsString derived from a specialized class template? E.g.

Code: Select all

class clsString &#58; public myTemplateClass<char>;

In that case a definition like your

Code: Select all

clsString sDummy;

would imply an explicit template instantation (albeit an indirect one). The question is why it would be needed under Windows but not on Mac.
