Special member functions in C++
Previous: C++
In C++, special member functions are the functions that the compiler can automatically generate for a class if you don’t declare them yourself. They are responsible for the core object lifecycle and copying/moving behavior. Here’s the full list:
Constructors in C++ are a special member function that is automatically called after a non-aggregate type is created.
Destructors are meant for when an object is being destroyed There is one special member fucntion that if defined will not prevent the others from being implicitly defined by the compiler That is the constructor, I would like some more information about this? what is happening, does defining a copy constructor prevent there from implicitly defining a move
class Example {
// Default constructor
Example();
// Destructor
~Example();
// Copy constructor
Example(const Example& example);
// Copy assignment operator
Example& operator=(const Example& example);
// Move constructor
Example(Example&& example);
// Move assignment operator
Example& operator=(Example&& example);
};
