Answer / preeti
There are 3 important places where a copy constructor is
called.
When an object is created from another object of the same
type
When an object is passed by value as a parameter to a
function
When an object is returned from a function
class A //With copy constructor
{
private:
char *name;
public:
A()
{
name = new char[20];
}
~A()
{
delete name[];
}
//Copy constructor
A(const A &b)
{
name = new char[20];
strcpy(name, b.name);
}
};

Answer / achal ubbott
Question on copy constructor is a classic one for an
interview. Since most modern day c++ compilers provide a
default copy constructor, most people don't get to try
hands over it. But in some cases it becomes mandatory to
define your own copy constructor and override the default
one.
So the places when CC is invoked are:-
1. calling a function e.g. void f(sample A);
2. creating an object from the existing object.
e.g. sample A=B; // here B is existing object.
3. When a function returns a copy of object.
e.g. sample f()
{
sample a;
return a;
}
