Hi,
I wanted to get your opinion about shipping proprietary software built
with a version of libstdc++ that we had to modify to address the bug below.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17215
This has hit us really hard, manifesting in multiple, painful to debug
crashes.
Does the GPL+exceptions license of libstdc++ allow use to ship our
software, where we have modified the version of fstream? If not, it
effectively means we have to invent our own fstream, or use plain C
style file I/O.
Thanks,
Pankaj
