Oh, and the root of the problem is a single function (resize()) in their implementation which passes its second parameter by value instead of by reference, which Microsoft or whomever hasn't bothered to fix for an eternity

Doesn't the standard say it's pass by value?

Which is why they needed to replace it with their own version.

I was just questioning the comments on it being "broken", when it does in fact follow the standard. Admittedly, I do agree with the fact that the standard does seem to have "got it wrong" in this case. But yeah, enough of this talk ;)
