It is a mistake of the compiler. You cannot know the size of the object created, You have to ask. So, The dynamic constructor
size_t String::?String(char const*)
is essential. You can give back the dynamic size in the common constructor with sizeof(this) and tell the compiler the object has dynamic size.
My basic goal is to get auto recognize my Handle which up-casts to String* (void*).
auto str=new String("abc")
with only calling the mutex-protected heap one time.
