[Bug c++/43127] Inconsistent and odd constructor calls.

[stvwooddell at embarqmail dot com]

This compiles for you?

                virtual ptr clone () const
                {
                        return new object(*this);
                }

gives me the error that a function matching the copy constructor does not
exist:

n file included from ../objects/map.cpp:27:
../objects/../include/object.hpp: In member function ‘virtual auto_ptr<object>
object::clone() constÂ’:
../objects/../include/object.hpp:80: error: no matching function for call to
‘auto_ptr<object>::auto_ptr(auto_ptr<object>)’
../objects/../include/global.hpp:73: note: candidates are:
auto_ptr<type>::auto_ptr(auto_ptr<type>&) [with type = object]
../objects/../include/global.hpp:71: note:                
auto_ptr<type>::auto_ptr(type*) [with type = object]
make: *** [objects/map.o] Error 1

It is my understanding that all the forms should work by creating a (anonymous)
object, then call the copy constructor passing that object as it's only
argument.

In what gcc version or configuration does it work?
