Hello,
My understanding is that C++ string class objects still terminate their
strings with a '\0', as do strings in C. If this is the case (please tell
me if it isn't), it appears that the easiest way to treat a C++ string as a
char * so it can be used with functions requiring a character pointer such
as strcmp (I realize that one would not normally want to do this), etc. is
to use the form: &stringObjec t[0] (is there a better way?). In MFC, one
need to merely cast the CString type to a char *, but this doesn't appear to
be the case with a standard C++ string.
Thanks,

This is only the case when you get the string using the c_str member
function.

No! String elements are not guarenteed contiguous. Use c_str(), that's
what it's there for.

It isn't. Also note that it's perfectly legal for a std::string to have
multiple '\0' characters inside. The string isn't just chopped off at
the first '\0'.

They might do this internally, or they might not.

This is not guaranteed to work. If you need a C style string, use the
member function c_str().

That's right. It would be dangerous to support this, therefore it's not
allowed.

No they do not:
string s( "abc\000def " );
assert( s.size() == 7 );

Let me try that again.
int main() {
string s;
for ( int x = 0; x < 100; ++x )
s.push_back( '\0' );
assert( s.size() == 100 );

Hello,
Could someone explain to me why the Standard conveners chose to typedef
std::string rather than derive it from std::basic_string<char, ...>?
The result of course is that it is effectively impossible to forward declare
std::string. (Yes I am aware that some libraries have a string_fwd.h header,
but this is not portable.)
That said, is there any real reason why I can't derive an otherwise empty
