Yes -- library issue 5 corrects the signature. See

Hi,
while trying to emulate the string interface (for a fast effective
string implementation without MT support ...) I found the following
member function in the Standard 21.3.6.8/6
int compare(size_type pos, size_type n1,
charT* s, // !!!!!!!!!!!!
size_type n2=npos) const;
Why is the third parameter non-const? The libs I had a look at
(STLport, Rogue Wave) have the third parameter as a const one.
Was there a change in the Standard - and where can I found those
changes, corrections, etc.. (I own only the downloadable .pdf copy)
THanks for any help
Ali
