Can anyone tell me why the line:
time_period t4(t2);
in the attached cpp file doesn't compile but the line:
time_period t3(t1);
does? it seems like i should be calling the same copy constructor in both cases but g++ 3.3.4 complains:
The difference between the two lines above is this:
time_period t2( ptime(min_date_time), ptime(max_date_time) );
g++ is taking this as a function declaration. (I don't know whether it should be doing so but it is.) Therefore
Yeah, you are correct it is treating it as a function declaration. This feel like a gcc bug to me, but there could be some obscure reason why it's that way that I'm unaware of. <snip>
This is correct behaviour. The above declaration declares t2 as a function taking two parameters of type ptime (irrelevantly named min_date_time and max_date_time). Any compiler that doesn't parse it as that is broken. Ben.
