C++ Interview Question test-3 question-4

#include <iostream>

class A
{
public:
    explicit A(int n = 0) : m_n(n) { }

public:
    A& operator=(const A& a)
    {
        this->m_n = a.m_n;
        ++m_assignment_calls;
        return *this;
    }

public:
    static int m_assignment_calls;

private:
    int m_n;
};

int A::m_assignment_calls = 0;

A f(const A& a) { return a; }

A g(const A a) { return a; }

int main()
{
    A a(3);
    A b = a;
    std::cout << A::m_assignment_calls;

    b = g(a);
    g(b);
    std::cout << A::m_assignment_calls;

    const A& c = f(b);
    std::cout << A::m_assignment_calls << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

答案： 011

1. 区别initialization 和 assignment， A b = a; 是initialization，不会调用=operator； b = a 是assignment， 会调用=operator

    在这里第二行A b = a 调用的实际是b(a)
