Build issue, v3.0.3, gcc 4.3, x86_64 (with patch proposal)

Hi,

g++ -c -o mysqlpp_mystring.o -I. -fPIC -DPIC -pthread 
-I/usr/include/mysql -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 
-fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 
-mtune=generic ./lib/mystring.cpp
./lib/mystring.cpp: In member function ‘int 
mysqlpp::String::compare(const std::string&) const’:
./lib/mystring.cpp:67: erreur: no matching function for call to 
‘max(unsigned int, size_t)’
./lib/mystring.cpp: In member function ‘int 
mysqlpp::String::compare(const char*) const’:
./lib/mystring.cpp:81: erreur: no matching function for call to 
‘max(unsigned int, size_t)’


This is probably because unsigned int is 32 bits while size_t is 64 bits.

Here is a little/trivial patch,
but this is probably not the better solution :

--- lib/mystring.h.orig	2008-05-13 20:47:56.000000000 +0200
+++ lib/mystring.h	2008-05-13 20:47:08.000000000 +0200

Any suggestion (I would like to push the new version to Fedora 9 
repository).

Remi.
