Thread: automatic constructor defaulting

Hello,

I just came across this "feature" in c++:

Code:

class Blah{
   public:
      Blah() {};
      Blah(const string& thestr) {};
      Blah(const char* mwah) {}
};

void moo(const Blah& theblah){
   // do nothing
}

int main(){

   moo(Blah());

   moo("haha");

   moo(string("haha"));

}

So obviously moo only should be taking a Blah class, but somehow it can also take a char* and a string? What is this feature called? I'm just making sure this is standard c++..

Hmm. Interesting. Learned something new here. So that's why functions expecting a std::string can be thrown a "const char *", too.

Yeah, I think this would be useful as a way to lazily implement overloading.. heh

thanks laserlight
