Topic-Id: CLSINIT
Special issues of constructors, copying and destructors.
Contents
Summary
No Virtuals in Constructor or Destructor
Don't call your own class' virtual functions in a constructor or destructor.
Constructor Initialization Section
Use the constructors initialization section to initialize your members.
Obvious Copyability
Make it obvious if the class is intended to be copied. Forbid copying otherwise.
Copy and Assign Consistently
Declare copy and assignment operators consistently – either both, or none.
