Copy constructors, assignment operators, and exception safe assignment
C++在对象的不同创建方法中，会调用不同的构造函数，下面的代码探讨了调用一般的默认构造函数和复制构造函数的情形
1 #include <iostream> 2 using namespace std; 3 4 class A 5 { 6 private: 7 int v; 8 public: 9 A() 10 { 11 v = 0; 12 cout << "object created" << endl; 13 } 14 A(const A& a) { cout << "copy construct - const" << endl;} 15 A(A& a) { cout << "copy construct" << endl;} 16 ~A() { cout << "object deleted" << endl; } 17 void setvalue(int value = 6); 18 int getvalue() { return v; } 19 }; 20 21 void A::setvalue(int value) 22 { 23 v = value; 24 } 25 26 void ReferenceA(A& a) 27 { 28 cout << "Reference a" << endl; 29 } 30 31 void ParameterA(A a) 32 { 33 cout << "Parameter a" << endl; 34 } 35 36 int main() 37 { 38 A a1; //calls A(), before function return, calls ~A() 39 A *b = new A(); //calls only A() 40 delete b; //calls only ~A(), it must be with new 41 42 A a2 = a1; //calls A(const A& a), before function return, calls ~A() 43 A a3(a1); //calls A(const A& a), before function return, calls ~A() 44 A(a4); //calls A(), before function return, calls ~A() 45 //A a6 = A(a5); //error: a5 no declaration 46 A a6 = A(a4); //calls A(const A& a), before function return, calls ~A() 47 //A *a8 = new A(a7); //error: a7 no declaration 48 A *a8 = new A(a1); //calls only A(const A& a) 49 delete a8; //calls only ~A(), it must be with new 50 ReferenceA(a1); //don't call construction 51 ParameterA(a1); //calls A(const A& a), before function ParameterA return, calls ~A() 52 53 a1.setvalue(); 54 cout << "v = " << a1.getvalue() << endl; 55 //system("pause"); 56 57 return 0; 58 }
在上述代码中，要注意函数的默认参数只能出现在函数的定义或声明中，不能同时出现在定义和声明中。同时要说明的是，如果同时存在A(const A& a)和A(A& a)，若出现了调用复制构造函数的情况，将会优先调用A(A& a)。
使用msvc2013编译器所得结果如下
object created object created object deleted copy construct copy construct object created copy construct copy construct object deleted Reference a copy construct Parameter a object deleted v = 6 object deleted object deleted object deleted object deleted object deleted
使用gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4)编译器所得结果如下
object created object created object deleted copy construct copy construct object created copy construct copy construct object deleted cite a copy construct call a object deleted v = 6 object deleted object deleted object deleted object deleted object deleted
可见二者的运行结果是一样的。
下面是一个C++构造函数调用的具体的例子，由于类中没有给出复制构造函数的定义导致了意想不到的问题。

需要注意的是，在StringBad类中，static int num_strings是静态成员变量，它由该类实例化的所有对象所共享，不能在类声明中初始化静态成员变量，可以在类声明之外使用单独的语句来进行初始化。
