My question: Why aren't they in STLPort's string.h? Is it a voluntary omission, and if so, why? Should I talk to the guys who created Boost instead? Should I be asking this on the developer's mailing list?? =)

If I am not mistaken, the standard C functions would be in the the standard C include files, not the C++ files. So: strlen would be in <cstring> the string class would be in <string> Note that the new include style does not have the .h at the end. HTH Woolie
