const String& str


str is a reference (just another name) to an existing object of type String.
Additionally, that object cannot be modified through this reference.

I have heard it is considered good practice to pass function parameters as const& as often as possible, is this true? Is it possible to go overboard? And if so why? Thanks a lot in advance everyone! Christopher Diggins http://www.cdiggins.com

After more searching I found that defining const operators can cause problems with many compilers due to the way it interprets the C++ standard. I removed the const operators from my class and it seems to be working fine now. >-----Original Message----- >I have C++ code that has been running just fine in VS6 for >a couple of years.

Just looking for opinion on which of the 3 methods below people use in their code when they convert a 'const char *' to a 'const std::string &' came across #3 in someone's code and I had to think for a sec. At first I read it as converting a 'const char *' to a 'std::string *' void f(const std::string &s) { std::cout << s.size() << "\n";

I have a lot of functions returning "const std::string&". Every time I wrap one of those I have to do it like this: class_.def("name", &someclass::bla, boost::python::return_value_policy<boost::python::copy_const_reference>() ); Is there a way to register a return value conversion for "const std::string&" so I can omit it every time I have to wrap functions returning "const std::string&" ? I wan't those strings to be copied to

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
