    <p>Im learning C++ and I ran into something strange that I couldn't find any info on in my C++ book, or on the web. The code below is simply a test of the conversion constructor: Test(int). testFunction gets an int where a Test object is expected, and the conversion constructor is used to create a Test object to send to the function. This works as expected. </p> <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt; using namespace std; class subClass { public: subClass(int); subClass(subClass&amp;); }; subClass::subClass(int i) {}; subClass::subClass(subClass&amp; i) {}; class Test { public: Test(const Test&amp;); Test(int); subClass sub; }; Test::Test(const Test &amp;) : sub(1) {}; Test::Test(int in) : sub(1) {}; void testFunction(Test in) { cout &lt;&lt; "testfunction\n"; }; int main () { testFunction(4); } </code></pre> <p>However, If i remove the copy constructor Test(const Test&amp;) from the Test class I get the error message shown below. But the copy constructor is never used, so why is it needed? </p> <pre><code>example.cpp: In function `int main()': example.cpp:32: error: no matching function for call to `Test::Test(Test)' example.cpp:13: note: candidates are: Test::Test(Test&amp;) example.cpp:24: note: Test::Test(int) example.cpp:32: error: initializing argument 1 of `void testFunction(Test)' from result of `Test::Test(int)' </code></pre> <p>Additional info: I noticed that either removing the copy constructor from the subclass or passing the argument by reference to testFunction makes it possible to compile the function without Test's copy constructor. Im using the gnu g++ compiler in cygwin. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
