Ah, I didn't know there were different types of copy constructors. I did
a search on the web to find out some more information on shallow and deep
copy constructors. If what I read was correct, the compiler automatically
implements a shallow copy constructor for your classes?
Also, since the copy constructor is called for a statement like this:
CObject ob1;
CObject ob2 = ob1;
How would you deal with pointers? I'm not totally sure.
CObject *pob1 = new CObject( );
CObject *pob2 = new CObject( pob1 );
Yes? No?
