c++11 - Why implicit conversion is occurring in "if expression" although it should be explicit conversion -


this code not supposed compile , why ? principle of context in if expression ?

class b {   public:       b() {}       explicit operator bool () {}   };      int main (){       b bp;     //bool check = bp // error     if (bp){   //o.k         return 1;       }       return 0;   }

thanks

that code supposed compile. standard expended great deal of effort ensure does.

there number of places expression "contextually converted bool" in places, explicit bool conversions called if they're available. 1 of contextual conversions if expression, in case.

this language allows explicit operator bool types still used conditional checking if(expr), can't other things without explicit conversion. can't pass function takes bool; can't return function returns bool, , forth.

all of contextual conversions explicit expressions in language features. explicit operator bool protects implicit user-defined conversions, while still allowing language-defined conversions happen.

node.js - How do I prevent MongoDB replica set from querying the primary? -

read-operations-only: is there way have mongodb replica set, make mongodb instance on box connected to, mongodb gets queried? i have 3 ec2 instances behind aws load balancer. on each ec2 instance runs mongodb, part of replica set. i have express endpoints on nodejs , connect replica set follows mongodb.mongoclient.connect('mongodb://1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3.', function (err, db) { if (err) { complete('{}'); } else { i distribute load of queries evenly across 3 instances of mongodb replica set instead of default having queries routed ec2 instance primary mongodb defined, because destroys point of load balancer (which balance load of queries across 3 instances evenly). my understanding when connecting mongodb replica set, primary instance selected unless primary instance down, , therefore purpose of every secondary instance serve backup. in example people call hot,cold,cold. because there 2...
