The program is ill-formed.
String S = (char*)"Test";
is equivalent to
String S = String((char*)"Test");
which requires an accessible copy constructor (or in C++11 move constructor)
that takes an rvalue argument (i.e. temporary). A non-const reference cannot
bind to a temporary, so your copy constructor is not viable.
The copy constructor must be accessible and viable even if the copy is elided
and the copy constructor is not used.
You'll get the same error from any conforming C++ compiler.
