The following program prints out
0x2290
good things
most things
but I think it should print out
most things
good things
most things
Here is the program:
-------------------------- cut here ------------------
#include <iostream.h>
class thing
{
public:
char* const& operator[](const int& b)
{
static char* mostthings = "most things";
return mostthings;
}
};
main()
{
thing a;
char * const b = "good things";
char * const& c = a[3];
cout << a[3] << "\n"; // a[3] and b should be same type
cout << b << "\n";
cout << c << "\n";
}
