I have a single char value, and I need to cast/convert it to a std::string. How can I do this?

I know how to go the opposite way, to retrieve a char from a std::string object: you just need to index the string at the appropriate location. For example: str[0] will retrieve the first character in the string.

But how do I go the other way? I want something like:

char c = 34;
std::string s(c);

…but this doesn't work (the string is always empty).
