Possible copy constructor bug

[Ioannis Vranos]

Unless I missing something, I think this is a bug.


ref class A
{
};


ref class B
{
public:
B(A) { }
B() {}
};


int main()
{
A a;

B b(a);
}

Am I making some mistake?

Try the following code, not the missing % from your example.
using namespace System;
ref class A
{
};


ref class B
{
public:
B(A%) { }
B() {}
};


int main()
{
A a;
B b(a);
}

Thanks,

I know that % was missing, however % is not mandatory.
