Digital Mars - c++ - cannot find constructor

int main()

  B<A> *a = 0;
  B<A> b(*a);

  return 0;
}


There is no need trying to instantiate the default constructor for B<A>.
From Boosts regex++ library (low priority).

I'm mystified how this can work. How can any instance of B<A> be created?

STLport does it this way:

  A a(0);

  B<A> *b1 = (B<A> *) malloc(sizeof(B<A>));
  new (&b1->t) A(a);

That's working around how C++ is supposed to work. Object instances are only
supposed to be built with constructors. Of course, STLport can be easilly
fixed by adding the missing constructor. The malloc call below should be
replaced with a new().
