Need help with simple copy constructor

[Chris_F]

Well, a good way to handle this would be like so:

class A
{
public:
   A::A(); // constructor
   
   // some other functions

private:
std::string name; // the name of the object is stored in a character array
};

There. Now you don't even need a copy constructor, because the default copy constructor will suffice. You also don't have to worry about writing an assignment operator or a destructor, which you would have if your class used a char* with dynamically allocated memory.

Isn't the standard template library great?
