So, have they fixed this bug in Alchemy: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/487570 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/487570 It's kind of hard to use C++ when you're not allowed to make a copy of std::string. Last I looked into this in May 2012 this was still not fixed (reported in 2009.) There is a page on stackoverflow where someone explains how to work around this problem by rebuilding a patched version of libstdc++. But after applying that fix you hit other similar problems. Also, the sztrace() function exists and is documented, but they forgot to add it to the .h file, so if you want to log anything, you have to write: extern "C" { void sztrace(char*); }
