The following code is compiling correctly on Visual Studio .NET 2003
but crashes. The problem is that the copy constructor is not being
called when it should be. Am I doing something wrong or is the compiler
at fault? I don't have any other compilers on which I could test this
:( If it IS a problem in the compiler, are there any workarounds?
template< class T >
class C
{
T * p;
public:
C();
template< class U >
C( const C< U > & ref );
~C();
};
template< class T >
C< T >::C< T >()
{
p = new double[3*4];
}
template< class T >
template< class U >
C< T >::C< T >( const C< U > & ref )
{
p = new double[3*4];
}
template< class T >
C< T >::~C< T >()
{
if ( p )
delete [] p;
}
template< class T >
C< T > inv( const C< T > & ref )
{
C< T > c;
return c;
}
int main()
{
C< double > c1, c2;
c2 = inv( c1 );
return 0;
}

The above test is superfluous, delete already does that.
delete [] p;
}
int main()
{
C< double > c1, c2;
c2 = inv( c1 );
This invokes the assignment operator, not the copy constructor. c1
and c2 now hold the same value for p, so a crashing double-delete
occurs at the end of the block.
return 0;
}

Some notes:
- if you provide one of: virtual destructor, copy constructor, copy
assignment, you should usually provide the others.
- copy constructor and copy assigment will never be instanced from
templated comnstructors/ assignment. You should write them explicitly,
or the compiler will generate them for you. BTW, that *is* your
problem, and double delete the crashing symptom.

Almost.
If you provide one of: (non trivial) destructor, copy constructor, or
copy assignment you should usually provide the others.
It doesn't matter if destructor is virtual or not. But often you
provide an empty virtual destructor just to make it possible to delete
objects by pointers to base class, and then it is not necessary to
provide copy constructor and copy assignment operators.

templated comnstructors/ assignment. You should write them explicitly,

Agree.

Coming from the C++ world I can not understand the reason why copy
constructors are not used in the .NET framework. A copy constructor creates
an object from a copy of another object of the same kind. It sounds simple
but evidently .NET has difficulty with this concept for some reason. I do
understand that .NET objects are created on the GC heap but that doesn't
mean that they couldn't be copied from another object of the same kind when...

Hi,
A default copy constructor is created for you when you don't specify one
yourself. In such case, the default copy constructor will simply do a
bitwise copy for primitives (including pointers) and for objects types call
their default constructor.
Any others points i should know?

I got the templatized class Matrix working in the way
it's written in the faq , and it works fine as:
Matrix<sqr_T> display(80,25);
However, I'd like to have this variable in the private
section of another class, and I'd like to instantiate in
the class's constructor, with the option of having a size
determined at run-time.

How do you forward declare a class that is *not* paramaterized, but is
based on a template class?
Here's what I thought should work, but apparently doesn't:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
