[RESOLVED] is const char* to string conversion safe?

[ar115]

we have a function f with gets a string as below

void f( std::string str )
{
// body
}

is it safe to call this function with a const char* varialbe like below

void g( const char* phrase )
{
f(phrase);
}

[laserlight]

Yes.

The argument is non-reference, non-pointer std::string, the object of type string will always be created even if you pass string object. Appropriate constructor would be called for initializing the function argument.
When function returns, the destructor will be called.

Thus, is it absolutely safe.
