Maybe if more C++ books actually talked about this issue, there would not be a
problem (sorry I could not resists). Also warning about very valid and defined
code even if it is a common mistake that beginers make. I would rather have
people actually taught this rule than GCC warning about it.
"The real problem is that the code compiles and links and runs without
problems, except it doesn't actually work."
that should say doesn't actually work the way the person is expecting so it is
working as the C++ standard says it should work.
