Error: copy assignment operator not allowed in union?

In order to have a member of a union of some class type T T s special member functions (the default constructor, copy constructor, copy assignment operator, and destructor) must be trivial. That is, they must be the ones implicitly declared and defined by the compiler Your unnamed struct does not have a trivial copy assignment operator (in fact, it doesn't have one at all) because it has a member variable that is const qualified, which suppresses generation of the implicitly declared copy assignment operator.

In order to have a member of a union of some class type T, T's special member functions (the default constructor, copy constructor, copy assignment operator, and destructor) must be trivial. That is, they must be the ones implicitly declared and defined by the compiler. Your unnamed struct does not have a trivial copy assignment operator (in fact, it doesn't have one at all) because it has a member variable that is const-qualified, which suppresses generation of the implicitly declared copy assignment operator.

The compiler tries to generate an assignment operator for the union itself, and fails because the active field of the union if not known, so it falls back to a bit-for-bit copy of the object. However, it can't do that either, since struct { const int j; } has a non-trivial assignment operator. See gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2008-03/msg00051....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
