I'll probably look for something with the same interface as C++ strings,
so we can switch over to them without too much hassle once they're more
widely standardized. They're pretty much always available, now, but I've
been bitten by differences in API. (Actually, most of this is VC, so this
may be an isolated VC problem, which lftp probably doesn't care about--I
assume the win32 ports are all via cygwin, so my own problems with C++
strings may be moot--I'd be interested in any other experiences, of course.)
IIRC, both C++ and the STL had string classes, and when the STL was merged
into C++, there was a bit of a conflict merging. I'm not sure, though. I'd
be very interested in substantial C++ portability data, if anyone has a link
(not just "don't do this, it's not portable", but recent data on what works
where.)
