about kde4's smart pointer

[Michel Hermier]

If I remember well, this problem is visible due to an *hole* in the C++ grammar.
How to interpret Foo foo = new Bar;
Some compiler (like gcc) change this as Foo foo(new Bar); for me this
is a mistake and should be interpreted as Foo foo; foo = new Bar; .
While I agree, it should do the same thing, it's not an obligation to
do so. So if the user really meant to do Foo foo(new Bar); it as to
write it, else it's the 2 steps construction.
