Thanks CPallini,
Why you change my code from f(X() = X()) to f (X())? Are they the same? Could you try to compile my code please?
If you change my code to f (X()), the code can not compile. But my code can compile, why? It is a question to you. 
regards,
George

The code compiles (as it should do) in both cases. I've already made a test.

Hi CPallini,
Could you disable the language extension and have a try please?
regards,
George

I've done and indeed only your dirty trick compiles. Probably (I have no certainties at this point) you're stressing a dark corner of the C++ standard: the assignment operator breaks the r-value nature of X().
And IMHO it is weird since you cannot do that on built-in types.

because he asked a question.
Do you have a problem with questions ?
Do you fear that simple '?' character ?
can't you just answer when we need more informations about what you're trying to do ?
George_George wrote: It is a question to you
lammer 
writing f(X() = X()) just has no sense. so re-read CPallini's question again, and reply to him.

WTF have you ever written ? that's impossible and makes merfect sense to pass a brand new object as a function parameter.
Thanks to answer.

IMHO lately he is just trying to exasperate the good old C++ compiler.

Hi toxcct,
Please makes your hands dirty with this sample. It is not very hard. My thoughts are,
f (X().operator=(X()));
the copy assignment operator is invoked, and this can handle an rvalue as its argument. Then, it returns a reference, so f() can handle the reference as it is an lvalue.
It is appreciated if you could comment and correct me if I am wrong.
regards,
George

your thoughts are correct about the operator=().
however, it's perfectly not clean to write such a code...
and last, f(X()) will get the reference returned by the X::X() constructor and make it its parameter...

it is appreciated if you could (for one time !) answer about questions which don't necessarily belong to the initial topic...

Why so harsh? It doesn't paint you in a very good light, no matter how you feel about someone.

Thanks ted,
I agree. If his post has values, I will try my best. I will rate him 5 as a X'Mas gift.

Hi CPallini,
I am using Visual Studio 2008, not old compiler. Have you tried to compile the code with disabling language extension setting?
regards,
George

it was a joke, and it was for me !
why on hell did you vote him 3 for this ?
also, there's no need to repeat 3 times to deactivate that bloody language extensions. you already told it twice, that's more than enough. now sit and wait !

Hi toxcct,
I use this code to show and learn how compiler works internally to deal with lvalue and rvalue, and there is something unknown to us.
Have you tried my code (disable language extension please)? If you tried, I think you will be surprised to see why f (X() = X()) can compile, but f (X()) can not compile.
regards,
George

i have no compiler with me at work, but i'm absolutely certain that f(X()) compiles if the f() function is designed correctly (getting a copy or a reference).

I don't know the reason, but passing an assigment as a parameter... Well, in my opinion is not very elegant. And still more... you are making X() = X() like saying 1 = 1, I don't know why your code compile and pallini's not... but at least in my limited knowledge... that has no sense.
Greetings.

Hi Nelek,
Could you try to compile the simple code when diable language extension please? You will be surprised why f(X() = X()) can compile but f (X()) can not. Any ideas or insights to share are appreciated.

George
