[Bug c++/19169] New: Compilation error at a vector definition

[rjimenez at ujaen dot es]

Hi, 

The compiler (g++ 3.4.2) gives me an error when i write: 
  B b;

  vector<A>elemA(2, b);


B can be, for instance, a pointer to an integer, or a class. A is defined as:
class A{

public:
  A(B b) {}
private:
    A(const A&){} //!< disallow copying
    A& operator=(const A&){ return const_cast<A&>(*this);} //!< disallow copying
};

The strange thing is that the constructor i am invoking is the public one not
the private. The compilation is fine when B is an integer.

The message of the compiler is:

g++ -g -Wall -c main.cc -o main.o
main.cc: In function `void std::_Construct(_T1*, const _T2&) [with _T1 = A, _T2
= A]':

Thanks in advance. 
Roberto.
