SYMPTOMS
When a member initializer instantiates a template class that takes a const parameter in its constructor, you may receive the following error:
RESOLUTION
Declare a global object of the template class specialization that is used in the member initializer. When optimizations are used, this unreferenced global should be optimized away.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ version 6.0 for Windows.
MORE INFORMATION
This is a regression from Visual C++ 5.0.
Sample Code
// Compile options needed: none
struct _Tree {
_Tree(const int& _Parg) {}
};
template<class _Pr>
struct set {
_Tree _Tr;
set(const _Pr& _Pred = _Pr()) : _Tr(_Pred) {}
};
struct Boo
{
Boo();
set<int>& _xSet;
};
//set<int> x; // uncomment for workaround
Boo::Boo()
: _xSet(*new set<int>) //C2512 here
{}
