I have a template similar to the following.
Code:
template <charT>
virtual void do_get_date(charT* = "str")
{ ... }
As you can see we have a problem. If we use a wchar_t instead the string wont be formatted right we need to prefix L in front. If we use char16_t we need to prefix a u in front. Is there a was to make the generic without resorting the the std::string class?
