Bug #: 55038 Summary: c++11: operator += Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: lis...@lisp2d.net I transfer code to c++(2011) version and hear: the main goal is to advance using an rvalue. But standard say that operators +=,++,-=,-- must have an lvalue from the left side. Who are writes the standard? And why I must to write cover class? And I want to hear an advice. code: #include <iostream> #include <complex> namespace test{ class Int{ public: signed int i; Int()noexcept:i(){} constexpr Int(Int const & x)noexcept:i{x.i}{} constexpr explicit Int(signed int const & x)noexcept:i{x}{} Int & operator =(Int const & x)noexcept{i = (x.i);return * this;} void Swap(Int & x){std::swap(i,x.i);} Int operator +(Int const & x){return Int{i + (x.i)};} Int & operator +=(Int const & x){i += (x.i);return * this;} }; int main(int,char * *){ Int x{1}; Int y{2}; Int z{3}; std::cout << "(" << x.i << "+" << y.i << ")+=" << z.i << " = " << ((x + y) += z).i << std::endl; std::complex<int> cx{1}; std::complex<int> cy{2}; std::complex<int> cz{3}; std::cout << "(" << cx << "+" << cy << ")+=" << cz << " = " << ((cx + cy) += cz) << std::endl; int ix{1}; int iy{2}; int iz{3}; //std::cout << "(" << ix << "+" << iy << ")+=" << iz << " = " << ((ix + iy) += iz) << std::endl; } } // namespace test int main(int n,char * * a){ return test::main(n,a);}
