Well it seems, that you (at least) forgot to mention (4) 
operator+.

Did you also forget (5) string (const string&) ? Or are you 
referring to the default copy c'tor?

It seems that we need to see a little code from your class. In 
particular:
- the c'tor String()
- the copy c'tor
- the operator +

Of course, the versions of your compiler and library wouldn't 
hurt, either.
