(http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/) I found this tool is quite useful since it sometimes finds a memory leak error and so on. However, the following code has some style error at the operator=. #include class OpTest { public: /// constructor OpTest(int init_int) : m_int(init_int){ // empty } /// operator= with const reference OpTest const & operator=(OpTest const & rhs){ if(this != &rhs){ m_int = rhs.m_int; } return *this; } public: int m_int; }; cppcheck said: [operator_substitute_00.cpp:9]: (style) 'OpTest::operator=' should return 'OpTest &'. I thought when I finished substitution of an instanc...
