Description
I tracked down this source file Release/include/cpprest/streams.h
template<>
struct Value2StringFormatter<uint8_t>
{
template<typename T>
static std::basic_string<uint8_t> format(const T& val)
{
std::basic_ostringstream<char> ss;
ss << val;
return reinterpret_cast<const uint8_t*>(ss.str().c_str());
}
static std::basic_string<uint8_t> format(const utf16string& val)
{
return format(utility::conversions::utf16_to_utf8(val));
}
};Here it assumes that the standard lib will accomodate instantiating a std::basic_string<uint8_t> or any other T for that matter, but that isn't the case as only the 'regular' char types are specialized for char_traits in the standard.
Current libstdc++ and older libc++ (up to at least libc++18) will accept this code, but not in recent libc++ where only the stipulated types are supported.
This can be isolated further with the following snippet:
Snippet:
// tst.cc
#include <cstdint>
#include <string>
int main() {
auto s1 = std::basic_string<char>{};
auto s2 = std::basic_string<uint8_t>{};
