Bug #: 57207
Summary: Incorrect lifetime of const references bound to
temporary
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.3
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

main.ii generated via --save-temps
Here the programme:
#include <iostream>
struct TMyStruct
{ };
struct TByteArrayList
{
TByteArrayList(const TByteArrayList &)
{ i = 12; std::cout << "copy ctor " << this << std::endl; }
TByteArrayList &operator=(const TByteArrayList &)
{ std::cout << "operator = " << this << std::endl; return *this; }
TByteArrayList()
{ i = 12; std::cout << "ctor " << this << std::endl; }
~TByteArrayList()
{ std::cout << "dtor " << this << std::endl; }
TByteArrayList &operator<<(const TMyStruct &)
{ std::cout << "<< " << this << std::endl; return *this; }
int i;
};
int main()
{
const TByteArrayList &List = TByteArrayList() << TMyStruct();
std::cout << "Here some use of List: " << List.i << " address " << &List
<< std::endl;
return 0;
}
And here its output:
ctor 0x7fff22f27350
<< 0x7fff22f27350
dtor 0x7fff22f27350
Here some use of List: 12 address 0x7fff22f27350
Why dtor of List called right after List is created in this line
const TByteArrayList &List = TByteArrayList() << TMyStruct();
Why const reference to temporary object (List) does not prolong life time of
temporary object (TByteArrayList() << TMyStruct())?
Seems it is a bug.
