  15. When I try to use container classes using string, I then to get compiler
  16. errors complaining of various ambiguous function declarations in
  17. basic_string; the offenders are certain relational operators, as shown
  18. by the following example.
  19.  
  20. In file included from /usr/local/lib/g++-include/std/bastring.h:571,
  21.                  from /usr/local/lib/g++-include/std/string.h:6,
  22.                  from /usr/local/lib/g++-include/string:5,
  23.                  from test.cc:5:
  24. /usr/local/lib/g++-include/std/sinst.h:60: ambiguous template
  25. instantiation for `operator !=(const char *, const
  26. basic_string<char,string_char_traits<char> > &)' requested
  27.  
  28. etc.
  29.  
  30. Has anyone seen this before? Is it a general fault with string and STL,
  31. or is it rather to do with shortcomings in g++?
