Inheriting and overriding functions of a std::string?

Since std::string is actually a typedef of a templated class, how can I override it? I want to make a UTF-8 std::string that will return the correct length, among other things.

c++ unicode utf-8 character-encoding

It is generally considered a mistake in C++ to derive from a standard library container. However, the functionality you are looking for has already been implemented. Have a look at Glib::ustring.

Hope this helps!
