Summary:
This patch fixes http://llvm.org/PR31938. The description below is copy/pasted from the bug:
The standard says:
template<class charT, class traits = char_traits<charT>,
class Allocator = allocator<charT>>
class basic_string {
using value_type = typename traits::char_type;
// ...
basic_string(const charT* s, const Allocator& a = Allocator());
};
libc++ actually chooses to declare the constructor as
basic_string(const value_type* s, const Allocator& a = Allocator());
The implicit deduction guides from class template argument deduction make what was previously an implementation detail visible:
std::basic_string s = "foo"; // error, can't deduce charT.
The constructor in question is in the libc++ DSO, but fortunately it looks like fixing this will not result in an ABI break.
@rsmith How does this look? I did more than just the constructors mentioned in the PR, but IDK how far to take it.
