In
every class, the compiler automatically supplies both a
|
|
copy
constructor and an assignment operator if we don't
|
|
|
explicitly
provide them.
|
|
| • |
Both
of these member functions perform copy operations
|
|
|
by
performing a memberwise copy from one object to
|
|
|
another.
|
|
| • |
In
situations where pointers are not members of a class,
|
|
|
memberwise
copy is an adequate operation for copying
|
|
|
objects.
|
|
| • |
However,
it is not adequate when data members point to
|
|
|
memory
dynamically allocated within the class.
