wstring is causing a win32 console application to exit

[NehaBhargava]

Hi,

I have the below code snippet in an already existing Win32 console application.

**********************************

wstring szTemp = _T("Template");

**********************************

This piece of code perfectly compiles but when i run the application, it exits when hitting the above line.This line is in the main() function.

There is a problem here:

wstring szTemp = _T("Template");

1) If your project is set for Unicode, then you don't use the TCHAR macros like _T.
2) If your project is set for ASCII, then you don't use wstring. You use string. There is no constructor for wstring that takes an ASCII string as a argument. That is, in ASCII this won't compile

Visual Studio.NET 2008 will not compile this code. So, what compiler are you using?
