tell about copy constructor

Answer / sudha
A copy constructor is a special constructor in the C++
programming language used to create a new object as a copy
of an existing object.
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 B //With copy constructor
{
private:
char *name;
public:
B()
{
name = new char[20];
}
~B()
{
delete name[];
}
//Copy constructor
B(const B &b)
{
name = new char[20];
strcpy(name, b.name);
}
};

Basic thing, copy constructor will be called whenever a copy
is made. and copy constructors are called when:
1. create a new object using existing object.
2. When is returning to caller.
3. When an object is passed by value as a parameter to a
function
Basically a default copy constructor will be created which
does bitwise copy also know as shallow copy.
This will become a problem when we are dealing with dynamic
memory allocation for variables and leads to dangling pointer.
To overcome we have to override by deep copy.

Answer / achal ubbott
e.g. Let there be a class
class Sample
{
};
suppose in main() you do like here
Sample obj1;
Sample obj2 = obj1; // Copy cons called here.
// then you call a function like this
fun(obj1); //Copy cons called here.
