is MSVC broken!

[Dhafir]

Try this code:

class Movie
{
public:
Movie(int i)
{
this->i=i;
}

~Movie(){ }

virtual void show() const =0;
private:
int i;

};


///////////////////////////////////////////////
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{

(Movie(6)).show(); // this line compiles Ok !

return 1;
}

MSVC allows you to create a temporarly object of an abstract class!
It failes, however, at run time!
What a shame !

Yep, you're right. It will compile.....
But it's no wonder that it fails at runtime.

It doesn't compile on VC7 (Visual Studio .net)
