The rules for auto-generated constructors and operators

May 28th, 2014 No comments
  • The default constructor is auto-generated if there is no user-declared constructor (§12.1/5).
  • The copy constructor is auto-generated if there is no user-declared move constructor or move assignment operator (because there are no move constructors or move assignment operators in C++03, this simplifies to “always” in C++03) (§12.8/8).
  • The copy assignment operator is auto-generated if there is no user-declared move constructor or move assignment operator (§12.8/19).
  • The destructor is auto-generated if there is no user-declared destructor (§12.4/4).

C++0x only:

  • The move constructor is auto-generated if there is no user-declared copy constructor, copy assignment operator or destructor, and if the generated move constructor is valid (e.g. if it wouldn’t need to assign constant members) (§12.8/10).
  • The move assignment operator is auto-generated if there is no user-declared copy constructor, copy assignment operator or destructor, and if the generated move assignment operator is valid (e.g. if it wouldn’t need to assign constant members) (§12.8/21).
