specifically, this:
class A
{
public:
A(float* a, float* b);
};
void foo(void)
{
float array[3] = { 12, 13, 14 };
#if defined(GCC_WORKS)
A(&array[0], &array[3]);
#else
A(array, &array[3]);
#endif
}
compiled with g++ test.cpp -DGCC_WORKS, you get:
test.cpp: In function `void foo()':
test.cpp:12: error: parse error before `,' token
compiled with g++ test.cpp, there are no errors. I would expect those two code
fragments to be
identical in behavior.
making a named variable:
A a(&array[0], &array[3]);
works.
calling a function:
bar(A(&array[0], &array[3]));
works.
calling a constructor:
B b(A(&array[0], &array[3]));
doesn't work.
