I have this simple code below. When I compiled it, I got the following
error. But after I removed the comment marker(//), i.e. explicitly
defined a constructor, it becomes OK.
The compiler should generate a default constructor for me and the
default one shoule be no different than the one I specified. Why do I
have to specify one in this code?
class A
{
public:
//A() { }
};
int main()
{
const A a;
return 0;
}
[nan@athena test]$ g++ test19.cpp
test19.cpp: In function `int main()':
test19.cpp:10: error: uninitialized const `a'
Thank you very much. 2 3017

Look at the error message which you have repeated as subject line.
It's not meaningful to have a constant without a specified value.
You're lucky: Visual C++ 7.1 erronously compiles the above without
flagging the error.
[nan@athena test]$ g++ test19.cpp test19.cpp: In function `int main()': test19.cpp:10: error: uninitialized const `a'
In the code as-is no value is provided for the constant, and
according to §8.5/9 the program is "ill-formed".
You can (1) initialize explicitly, e.g..
A const a = {};
(allowed only for aggregate type, which A is) or
A const a = A();
Or you can (2) define your own default constructor.
Any way you need to explicitly define the value of the constant.

Thank you. Your answer is very clear.

Should this call to memset() be legal? Memset is of type
void *memset(void *, unsigned char, size_t)
Also, (void *) is the generic pointer type.
My real question is, is (void *) such a generic pointer type that it

Hi All,
If I declare an identifier with a const keyword and not initilize
it.Then later on I assign it value of an expression.Is it fine?
I feel yes.But if I modify the value of that constant like say an
operation like,
const int i;
int a,b;
i = a + b;

I have some code, and I want to make it future-resistant. I have a bunch of

The problem is, they are being set run-time by the return of a function...

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.
