------- Comment #14 from raf2 at msux dot cjb dot net 2007-05-08 17:18 ------- I first was hit by an error using MinGW... when I compiled and executed the first attached file, it wrote:
John drives a: "bus" Otto drives a: "bus" Which was wrong, I reported the bug and a guy from MinGW kindly explained that if it worked then that would be purely by accident and added: " When you declare the argument without '&' then it will make a temporary copy of the Automobile object on the stack, but it is wrong to store a reference to a temporary object because it will be invalid after the constructor returns.". -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=986
