similarly - (const A*) convert to A*.
It's not quite clear what you want to convey to fxsaber. He understands exactly what is going on in the code without you. It just shows you a situation that shouldn't be. The compiler should prevent such conversions.

It's a debatable point. Without these conversions you may get a lot of trouble in some places. Moreover, even such bans of the compiler can be bypassed - there are a lot of ways in the forum.
 
mktr8591 #:

And the *2* line compiles and works fine. Why?

The initialization list is the only legal (and specifically provided) way to initialize non-static constants.

 
Andrei Trukhanovich #:

The initialisation list is the only legal (and specifically intended) way to initialise non-static constants.

So he changed its value afterwards

So he changed her meaning afterwards.

Yeah, inattentive. Bug? The features of the initialization list should only apply to the object being constructed

Bug. I didn't understand it at first either. That's why I'm saying that you should write it in such a way that most of the people understand it. This also applies to the interface

Bug. I didn't understand it right away either. That's why I say you should write it in such a way that the vast majority of people understand it. This also applies to the interface.

I agree about bug reports, of course.

The interface is another story. Example :

If a pilot, who knows how to fly a plane perfectly well, switches to another type of plane with a different control system, without studying the manuals, he won't understand a lot.

It is impossible to make a complex interface that even most professionals can understand without studying the documentation.

 
It's a compilation error:
class T {};                          //(1)
template<typename T> void f( T* ) {} //(2) Error: 'T' - identifier already used
And if you swap:
template<typename T> void f( T* ) {} //(2)
class T {};                          //(1)

it's fine. What's the fundamental difference?

 
Hi all! I've recently started training on a demo account. Today I opened: Help - MQL5web-terminal. After that the trading platform stopped loading. When I did, it turned out that my demo account was wiped with all technical analyses I had trained there. I had to open a new account. Why did this happen? Does this happen to real accounts?
 
mktr8591 #:

In b3095 I run a script:

If you remove the overload f1(T* & Ptr), all 5 calls return void f1<const X>(const X*const).

Is this some kind of feature?

I wanted to write this contradiction into 3 lines, but it did not work at once
