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.

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.
regards,
George

I don't have to do it.
Firstly... I use VC++ 6.0 (as I said in many other messages) so this is out of scope for me.
Then... I don't need to do it because I trust on what you say, I mean, if you say it compiles, why should I don't believe you? (Actually, sometimes you should do the same about the answers you get and don't ask 4 extra times to get an asnwer that you actually already got. It seems that you don't trust on the people who answers you, so... If you don't trust them... why to ask?)

I have already said it. The theory of this question is too deep for me. My knowledge is limited, but not my common sense.

AFAIK, f(X()) doesn't compile because X() doesn't exist long enough (or is optimised away) to be passsed by reference (the X& reference requires a X instance to be initialized) into f(X& x). f(X() = X()) works because two temporary objects are created; the assignment operator is fired, and a reference to the lhs temporary object is passed into f(X() = X()).
IMHO, this code only demonstrates temporary objects and has no practical usage. It is like creating two trucks; cloning the features of one truck into the other, using the cloned truck for a bit, and destroying both trucks when done with the cloned one.

Thanks George,
I think my original code breaks the C++ rule that non-const reference can not binded to a rvalue (in my case, X() will generate a temporary object instance, which is a rvalue). How do you think of it?
regards,
George

C++ creates temporary objects in many situations. However, you should avoid such situations whenever possible. Your code only is really inefficient due to that fact, and most C++ programmers won't touch such code with a ten-foot pole. Also, a reference requires initialization; otherwise, the compiler will emit an error.

Hi Experts,
How could I know that this is file or folder?
|
|
|
|
|
Folders have the Directory bit set in the File Attributes.
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, for example -
<br />
BOOL GetFileAttributesEx( LPCTSTR lpFileName, <br />
GET_FILEEX_INFO_LEVELS fInfoLevelId, <br />
LPVOID lpFileInformation <br />
);<br />
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.
