compiled by GNU C version 3.0.1.
Source Code (test2.C):
class Foo {
int a;
int* b;
public:
const int& a_or_b1(bool which) const {
return which ? a : *b;
}
const int& a_or_b2(bool which) const {
if (which) return a; else return *b;
}
};
void test() {
Foo foo;
int x = foo.a_or_b1(true);
int y = foo.a_or_b2(true);
}
compile-statement: gcc -c test2.C
test2.C: In member function `const int& Foo::a_or_b1(bool) const':
test2.C:7: warning: returning reference to temporary
The warning is believed to be unjustified, as there is no need to create a
temporary.
Kind regards,
