I.e. cygwin std::string is probably not the same definition as MSVC std::string. Why would it be? "The stuff we call "software" is not like anything that human society is used to thinking about. Software is something like a machine, and something like mathematics, and something like language, and something like thought, and art, and information... but software is not in fact any of those other things."
