rvalue is not destroyed

[krutuk]

Hi guys,

I though that after function call all rvalue parameters send to function will be destroyed. I'm completely messed up with this example. Can someone help me with it? Maybe some links where it explained.

class Test
{
public:
    Test(const char* name)
        : ptr(nullptr)
    {
        ptr = name;
    }

    ~Test()
    {
        printf("%s\n", ptr);
        system("PAUSE");
    }

    const char* ptr;
};

int main()
{
    Test t("Hello");
}

I figured it out on my own. The answer is that basic types has static lifetime, in other words they are never destroyed.

only string literals have static storage duration, see http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/string_literal
