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
