Re: "Not really an lvalue" warnings

The following code produces a warning from GCC about "target of

	char *typeOfQ = NULL;
	static_cast<const char *>(typeOfQ) =
handle.FirstChildElement("fieldlabel").Element()->NextSiblingElement("fieldentry")->GetText();

GCC is telling you that there is a problem in your code (hence the warning), and telling you that future versions of the compiler will flag this as an error rather than a warning.


This expression:
	static_cast<const char *>(typeOfQ)
is not a variable, it is a expression.

Think of the difference between 'x' and '3' - one can be assigned to, the other cannot )
Googling for "rvalue" and "lvalue" will give more general information.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning.
