Still haven't updated to beta 6, but using beta 4:

1. c_str_ptr_inserter is missing #include <stlsoft_iterator.h>
2. interface_ptr's operator= didn't compile, there's a miss-typed SysConstCast or something like it.

But, like I said I still haven't tried this with beta 6.

BTW, the website still says "beta 5" in the downloads page (though the link for the .zip file is correct).

Fixed. Thanks

Any chance of more info?

FYI: that files not change substantially in quite a while, although an earlier version did have those casts (from the Synesis source codebase) in.

Ok. I'll fix that.

Thanks

With beta 4, the code for operator= was SyConstCast, which would match what
you say about it being from Synesis, I guess.
Now it says:

<code>

class_type t(const_cast<class_type&>(rhs).m_p);
swap(t);
return *this;

</code>

The m_p shouldn't be there, after all, class_type is interface_ptr<T> not T*
(which is what m_p is). Removing m_p compiles fine.
(this is for beta 6)

I read the code wrong. In any case, compiling fails as it is, and compiles fine when I remove m_p, the "why" for it as I stated above is just wrong, though...

This one's all sorted to your satisfaction now?

I suppose so, I just recompiled everything recently (with beta 9) and no problems seemed to come up... Thanks...
