New description:
I noticed the C++ standard has :
{{{
int String::compare(size_t pos1, size_t n1, const char* s) const;
}}}
While Haiku std/bastring.h declares :
{{{
int compare(const char* s, size_t pos1, size_t n1) const;
}}}
It is BeOS "legacy" (ie BeOS has the same problem), but it's a bit
annoying when trying to write portable C++ code.
Can we do something about it without breaking binary compatibility ?
