Special issues of constructors, copying and destructors.

Don't call your own class' virtual functions in a constructor or destructor.
Details >

Use the constructors initialization section to initialize your members. Details >

Make it obvious, if the class is intended to be copied. Forbid copying otherwise. Details >

Declare copy and assignment operators consistently – either both, or none. Details >
