Weird Problem with return with operator +

Code:

---

class cXLONG
{
private:
        char*        pszNumber;
        int        iLen;
public:
        cXLONG() :pszNumber(0), iLen(0)                        {        }
        cXLONG(int iNumber)        :pszNumber(0)                { *this=iNumber; }
        cXLONG(const char* pszNumber) :pszNumber(0)        { *this=pszNumber; }
        ~cXLONG()                                        { if ( this->pszNumber ) delete[] this->pszNumber; }

        const char* c_str() const                        { return this->pszNumber; }

        void operator=(int iNumber);
        void operator=(const char* pszNumber);
        void operator=(const cXLONG& xlNumber);

        cXLONG operator+(int iNumber);
        cXLONG operator+(const char* pszNumber);
        cXLONG operator+(const cXLONG& xlNumber);

};

cXLONG cXLONG::operator+(const char* pszNumber)
{
        cXLONG        xlReturn;
       
        //some code

        xlReturn=pszTmp;
        return xlReturn;
}

---

When ever the operator + is called the return value is junk. What is the problem.

Thanks.

What in the world is pszTmp?

gg

Sorry. pszTmp is a string. Theres no problem with that statement. Its the next one;
return xlReturn
It calls the decontructor before is constructs the return for some reason. I've written other classes/functions that return a class like I'm doing here. But it doesn't work in this case for some reason.

Thanks.

I don't know what the problem is, but operator+ should return a constant object.
That is to prevent statements like:

Code:

---

(a+1) = 3;

---

EDIT: Jawib is correct, too. :)

Shouldn't your operator= return a reference to a cXLONG object?

Figured it out. It was a very stupid mistake, I forgot the copy constructor.
