TAxis::operator==

Hello, is there a reason thy TAxis::operator== is private? In addition it seems to be not implemented at all

Hi,

Do you mean the operator equality or the assignment operator?

[quote]In addition it seems to be not implemented at all[/quote]Either way … the pattern of not implementing and making private one of the method is usually that the default implementation (provided by the compiler) is inappropriate/incorrect and that supporting the operation is iffy (and/or confusing).

Cheers,
Philippe.

Sorry, I mean operator=. Why you don’t want to provide it? It seems strange that you provide a copy constructor and not a operator=

Hi,

[quote]Why you don’t want to provide it?[/quote]Lack of request for it :slight_smile: (and because it is ‘slightly’ harder to get right due to resource allocation/deallocation.

Anyway, thanks for the request and it is now implemented in the trunk (revision 43736).

Cheers,
Philippe.
