## Description

The `basic_string` class provides a generic template for a dynamically- sized character sequence. This is most commonly used through the `string` typedef (for `basic_string<char>`).

For example, to create a string on the device with its contents copied from a C-string on the host:

    boost::compute::string str("hello, world!");

18.     reverse_iterator rend();

19.     const_reverse_iterator rend() const;

30.     basic_string< CharT, Traits >
        substr(size_type pos = 0, size_type count = npos) const;

31.     size_type find(CharT ch, size_type pos = 0) const;

    Finds the first character `ch`.

32.     size_type find(basic_string & str, size_type pos = 0) const;

    Finds the first substring equal to `str`.

33.     size_type find(const char * s, size_type pos = 0) const;

    Finds the first substring equal to the character string pointed to by `s`. The length of the string is determined by the first null character.

    For example, the following code

    will return 5 as position.
