temporary of type `int'

 

 执行下面的语句你会得到错误：

 invalid initialization of non-const reference of type ‘int&’ from a temporary of type ‘int’

 

 

int &z = 12;

 

12 这个值是没有名字的，所以它是临时的（temporary），不能将一个temporary的变量赋值给一个引用（&修饰的）类型。

 

但是可以将temporary量赋值给const修饰的引用类型。 这个是为什么呢？

 

国外网站对此有激烈讨论：

#include <stdio.h>
template <class T>
T returnSelf(T &v){
        return v;
}

template <class T>
int compare (const T& v1,const T& v2){
        if(v1 < v2) return -1; 
        if(v1 > v2) return 1;
        return 0;
}
int main(){
        int i = 1;
        float j = 2.0f;
        double k = 3.0;
        printf("i is :%d\n",returnSelf(i));
        printf("j is :%f\n",returnSelf(j));
        printf("k is :%f\n",returnSelf(k));
        compare("hi","88");//"hi" and "hi1" are different styles.
        int ret = compare(i, 10);//can't set temporary value to reference.
        printf("compare i with 10, the result is :%d",ret);
}
