I am totally lost with libstdc++

[H.J. Lu]

While looking at libstdc++, I am totally lost. I don't know how anyone
can get basic_string to work on any platforms.

string::string (const char *) checks range and throws an exception,
out_of_range (const string &), if necsssary, via OUTOFRANGE, which
is defined as

#define OUTOFRANGE(cond) \
  do { if (!(cond)) throw out_of_range (#cond); } while (0)

As you can see, it calls string::string (const char *). Now we
get an endless recursive call. I have no idea how it will work
on any platforms. I will see what I can do.
