RE: bitset ctor multiply defined

Aw, you missed all the best parts.


This was my hack/patch to the v3 implementation (not the SGI one).  It
doesn't deserve to be called a patch, since all I did was comment out the
ctor that's always present.  This is also the one that had endpoints for
the string, with default arguments for both.  After commenting, doing
"bitset<n>  b (a_string);" now calls the first member-template ctor inside
the #ifdef's, the one which takes only a default starting point for the 
string.

This hack seems like it ought to break more than it does, but all three
combinations of the ctor signature in 23.3.5.1 are still there, regardless
of the __STL_MEMBER_TEMPLATES setting.

(I would have cc'd this to c.l.c++.m like Benjamin suggested, but we don't
have Usenet access from work, and telnetting to the freeware account is too
#!@$ slow during the daytime traffic.  *whine*)
