Hej i am getting the error:
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'int *' to 'GarbagePointer<T>'
1> with
1> [
1> T=int
1> ]
1> Constructor for class 'GarbagePointer<T>' is declared 'explicit'
1> with
1> [
1> T=int
1> ]--------------------------
But i really dont know how to either get around this or why it is even arising, it really should work accordingly to me..
it is being called like this:
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
GarbagePointer<int> myGC=new int;
*myGC = 10;
return 0;
}
Can anyone help me, please ?
