This question seems to be silly. Can ony one figure out the default
functions implemented by compiler when we decalre a class like
class A
{
}
According to me this declaration will define default functions like
1. Default Constructor
2. Default Destrucor
3. Copy Constructor
Is there any other functions i am missing?

I disagree!
Scott Meyers writes in Effective C++ chapter 5 that
also the copy assignment operator may be generated.
Note that the listed functions are generated only when needed.

It should also be mentioned that there is no "default destructor". There
only is a default implementation. A "default constructor" is any
constructor, which can be called without any arguments. It is called
"default" because it is used when no other constructor is explicitly
specified when an object is created, not because its implementation is
provided by the compiler.

That's right. An operator== function is always implemented by the compiler
if none exists. This is always a bit-by-bit copy. Else this wouldn't be
possible:
void fun()
{
A a;
A b;
a = b;
}
Ciao,

No, it isn't. It's a memberwise copy.

yes I agree Rolf. I have a query.
In an interview, they asked my friend about shallow and deep copy.
he could not explain because we never heard about that.
After that some one said..
deep copy happens through default constructor
and shallow copy is thru copy constructor. I think I did not match them
correctly.
plz correct which is deep and shallow.
and also said..
Copy constructor is dangerous. While programming with pointers, it may
lead to exception.
and shallow (copy constructor) will not have that problem.
Plz tell about this.

You are right that this definition is not correct.
A deep copy is a copy where the whole content of the object is copied, while
a shallow copy doesn't copy the data itself, but e.g. just its address, so
that the original object and the copy share their data.
The compiler-generated copy constructor does a deep copy. If you write your
own, you can do anything you want. The default constructor has nothing to
do with it.
and also said..
Copy constructor is dangerous. While programming with pointers, it may
lead to exception.
Well, if you have several objects that have a pointer to the same data, you
have to ensure that it's not deleted multiple times or used after being
deleted. However, failure to handle it correctly most often leads to
undefined behavior. An exception might be thrown, but typically isn't.
and shallow (copy constructor) will not have that problem.
Actually, it's just the shallow copy that has that problem, because it
usually means that after the copy operation, two objects have a pointer to
the same data. A deep copy is unproblematic in that respect, but might be
costly for large amounts of data.
Thanks for that.

You mean, a shallow copy.

So structures are useful to group variables, so you can to refer to a
collection as a single entity. Wouldn't it be useful to also have the
ability to collect variable and functions?
Ask K&R say, C programs consist of variables to store the input and
functions to manipulate them.
This would make C object-oriented - how cool would that be?
Are there any problems with adding the ability to have functions

The implementation of classes with virtual functions is conceptually easy to
understand: they use vtables. Which begs the question about POD structs: how
are they associated with their member functions in common implementations?
And where is the 'this' ptr tucked away at for POD structs with member
functions?

Operators seem similar to functions. They both do something to either
arguments or operands, but are different in their syntax. Operators
seem to be like built-in C functions. It would seem that there is very
important reasons for having operands, and not just functions. Maybe
they are just really powerful and can be used in expressions? Or they
are somehow executed quicker than a function call? I am a newbie, and
curious.. thanks for all...
