The same problem occurs with std::cend. It is easily fixed by inserting const. I have reported this to Dinkumware.

I am using C++ Builder 10.4 with Dinkumware 8.03. The non-member function std::cbegin sometimes returns an iterator when it should always be a const_iterator. The following program will not compile due to b1 being deduced as iterator and b2 a const_iterator. There is no problem with c1 and c2. The fix is to add const to the parameter _Container & as described in the book. int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { std::vector<int> a1(100, 2); std::vector<int> const a2(100, 3); auto const b1= std:: cbegin(a1), b2= std::cbegin(a2); /*auto const c1= a1.cbegin(), c2= a2.cbegin(); */ // See item 13 of Effective Modern C++ for explanation. return 0; } /* line 1672 of xiter template<class _Container> _CONST_FUN auto inline cbegin(_Container& _Cont) _NOEXCEPT_OP(_NOEXCEPT_OP(_STD begin(_Cont))) -> decltype(_STD begin(_Cont)) { // get beginning of sequence return (_STD begin(_Cont)); } */

There is something not right with the integrated debugger. If you step into the concatenation and out again you will see what you expect. Is it a mistake that you assign a wide character string literal to a char based string type?

On my Windows start button menu some shortcuts of C++ Builder are missing from view but they are present in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Embarcadero RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin. With 10.4 Rad Studio Command Prompt and Uninstall are missing and with 10.3 only Uninstall is missing. With 10.1 another couple are missing.

The <> syntax is used to include library headers and that can include your own library code shared by multiple projects.

After typing #include < there is a selection box with file names. If I ignore that something gets selected anyway and characters from a file name are inserted. I would like to turn it off.

I use extern "C" to prevent name mangling like this; extern "C" { __declspec(dllexport) signed char __stdcall MajorVersion() { return 1; }; }

When I type #include < characters get entered automatically that I don't want. I'm not sure what this technology is called but it is a pain. I have some of my own headers that I include with <> because they are used by multiple projects. How is this turned off? I have 10.4 Community.
