Glad to hear that you agree with C++ primer ;-). However, as I found out, the default behavior of gcc 3.3.4 is not to call the copy constructor in: Foo f = 2; instead it uses direct initialization. I've written a simple test program that shows this quite clearly. So here the default behavior of gcc contradicts with what I've read in C++ primer. The assigment operator is never called in the statement above, with or without -fno-elide-constructors. See the attached code for an example. best, Jeroen -- Kile -- KDE Integrated LaTeX Environment http://kile.sourceforge.net
