I don't believe data() and c_str() are supposed to be the same.
If I remember correctly, data() is not guaranteed to be null-terminated.

This is most likely irrelevant.

This is interesting. Now we can try this compiler on a non-cygwin system.
I did and Irix 6.5 w g++ 2.95.3 gives the same result.
This is fixed (assuming it's a bug -- see above) in 3.0
g++ 2.95 has a number of bugs that have been fixed in version 3 and above.
I don't imagine they'll be fixed.

data doesn't necessarily return a zero-terminated string, it simply returns
a ptr to the raw data. It is only zero-terminated if you call c_str() which
is, of course, why there are two functions in the first place.
This is in the wrong mailing list however, redirect it to the appropriate
gnu gcc mailing list.

Hi,
It seems that one constructor of the std::string class or the data() method
doesn't work properly.
string::data() and string::c_str() are supposed to be equivalent but don't
always behave the same.
have a look at the following code and its test.
....?
Thanks,
Gwenaël
PS: I update cygwin this morning => 1.3.9
