ASSIGN(OC)

Shore Programmer's Manual - 3 November 94

NAME

assign \- REF(T) assignment

SYNOPSIS

#include <ShoreApp.h>
REF(T)   &REF(T)  ::operator=(const REF(T) &ref);
REF(any) &REF(any)::operator=(const LOID &loid);

DESCRIPTION

There are two public forms of the C++ assignment assignment operator. The first form allows assignment between refs of the same type. The second form is only available on REF(any); it allows assignment between refs and logical oids.

BUGS

REF(T) has one additional overloading of operator=:
REF(T)   &REF(T)::operator=(const T *p);
This form of operator= should only be used to assign the result of T::operator new to a REF(T) variable. Other uses of this assignment operator are unsafe.

VERSION

This manual page applies to Version 0.1 of theShore software.
