Description Paolo Carlini 2005-11-15 20:59:54 UTC 
This meta-bug tracks work on a new, ABI-breaking, basic_string implementation.
Currently, we have refactored code in v7-branch which includes two alternative
base classes: one doesn't use reference counting, is optimized for short
strings and includes (simulated) move constructor and assignment operator (is
rather similar to Design D in Effective STL.

Comment 1 Jonathan Wakely 2014-12-19 18:19:05 UTC 
The new std::string implementation has been committed as https://gcc.gnu.org/r218964

I'll go through the bugs linked to this PR and deal with them asap.
