Hi,
I'd like to define a union, for reading special kind of binary files. The union should have two members one of int and the other a kind of string, or any other that's the question; what is the best way to do this?

union uu {  
    int intval;  
    wstring strval;  

    uu(){ memset(this, 0, sizeof(this)); }  
}

it says: "Member strval of union has copy constructor" I think strval should have a * or a &; how would you define it?

thanks in advance
Oops
