“No matching function for call error” with g++

Question

I have a class A

template
class A : public std::auto_ptr
{
    typedef std::auto_ptr Super;
public:
    A() : Super() { }
            


        

Answer 1

Without the exact code that actually causes the error it's hard to know for sure, but I suspect that from AIR::A::A(AIR::A&) what happening is you're trying to pass a temporary (possibly implicit) object into AIR::A::A and MSVC lets you bind the temporary to the non-const reference parameter, while g++ quite properly prohibits this. Can you make the parameter const?
