6540,Erroneous default argument in basic_string::compare overload,Erik Jensen <Erik.Jensen@…>,Ion Gaztañaga,"basic_string in string.hpp contains the following definition:
{{{
int compare(size_type pos1, size_type n1, const CharT* s, size_type n2 = npos) const {...}
}}}
However, n2 should not have a default argument. It interferes with calling ""int compare(size_type pos1, size_type n1, const CharT* s) const"", and a value of npos makes no sense for n2 anyway (it would mean the passed c string had ""infinite"" length).
