std::string in WDL-OL?

How to use std::string in WDL-OL?

It seems like there's some overlapping typedef in WDL-OL since using std::string says that string is not a member of std.

Specifically, I need the c_str method in order to go from string to c_str for some function arguments.

I am using std::string without any issues. Are you adding #include <string> within the header?

Also, you can look at the WDL_String class. It handles most of the same functions as std::string.

It's usually best to use the string class of the framework that you are working with, even if the class sucks. If some API of some other library needs something else, do the conversion at the last possible place.
