It's definitely spurious. This is a minimal test case: #include <string> #include <memory> class HashFunction {}; HashFunction *get_hash (std::string const &); void generate_dsa_primes (void) { std::auto_ptr <HashFunction> hash(get_hash("SHA-160")); } (If you change get_hash's argument to const char *, the diagnostic goes away. Bizarre.) Is now GCC bug #34470. zw _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
