------- Comment #17 from raf2 at msux dot cjb dot net 2007-05-09 16:27 ------- > Compilers may warn about this, but they may not issue an error. Let's see what has to say the freely available Borland C++ 5.5.1 for Windows. Yes, it wisely stops people from compiling the attached "main.cpp":
Error E2359 main.cpp 23: Reference member 'Driver::what_drives' initialized with a non-reference parameter in function Driver::Driver(Automobile) Are comitee decisions (right or wrong) more important than consequences for people? So Borland protects people from undefined behaviours when they can, and I wonder, isn't what most people need? isn't what most people want? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=986
