Comment on attachment 26183 [details] Example of problem >#include <iostream> > >class Foo >{ >public: > Foo() > { > Foo(a); > } > > Foo(int x) > { > } >}; > >int main() >{ > Foo f; > return 0; >} that doesn't call a constructor, it declares an object called a, so is identical to:
Foo()
{
Foo a;
}
which causes an infinite recursion
well, sorry, it does call a constructor, but it calls the same one (the default cosntructor) it doesn't call the other constructor "with a non-existent symbol" |
Created attachment 26183 [details] Example of problem Creating a class with a constructor that calls another construct with a non existent symbol yields a segfault and no compile time errors or warnings. Both -std=C++0x and standard compilation have the same issue.
