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); } ~
