I'd like to make use of the C++ flavor of B64, but it seems to be broken on Linux.

TIA.

Hi

Sorry for the radio silence. I will be in a position to investigate this in 3-4 days' time, and expect to be able to effect a fix and have you up and running within a day or so.

Cheers

Matt

Thanks! I appreciate both the reply and the commitment.

Apologies for the ongoing delays with this. I've just addressed a couple of other minor issues with the library -
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=c%2B%2B.stlsoft&article_id=1616 - and can now focus on this. Couple more
days at the most until we get a usable workaround; possibly another week for a full fix.

HTH

OK. I'm keeping my eye on this thread for the work around and/or fix. TIA.

Still working on it ...

I finally got to the bottom of this, and it's now resolved.

The problem is there's a subtle defect in GCC's lookup mechanism for resolving types in function template overloads.

The new version, 1.3.4 (http://synesis.com.au/software/b64.html), contains a workaround that's been tested on a bunch of different
compilers, including GCC 4.x versions on 32 and 64-bit Ubuntu.

Sorry it took so long ...

Matt
