Un constructor Copy és un sobrecarregat constructor utilitzat per declarar i inicialitzar un objecte des d'un altre objecte.

El constructor de còpies és de dos tipus:

Constructor de còpia per defecte:El compilador defineix el constructor de còpia per defecte. Si l'usuari no defineix cap constructor de còpia, el compilador proporciona el seu constructor.Constructor definit per l'usuari:El programador defineix el constructor definit per l'usuari.

Sintaxi del constructor de còpia definit per l'usuari:

 Class_name(const class_name &old_object); 

Considereu la situació següent:

 class A { A(A &x) // copy constructor. { // copyconstructor. } } 

En el cas anterior, El constructor de còpia es pot cridar de les maneres següents:

Quan es crida a Copy Constructor

Copy Constructor s'anomena en els escenaris següents:

ordenar per aleatori en sql

• Quan inicialitzem l'objecte amb un altre objecte existent del mateix tipus de classe. Per exemple, Student s1 = s2, on Student és la classe.
• Quan l'objecte del mateix tipus de classe es passa per valor com a argument.
• Quan la funció retorna l'objecte del mateix tipus de classe per valor.

El constructor produeix dos tipus de còpies:

• Còpia poc profunda
• Còpia profunda

Còpia superficial

• El constructor de còpia per defecte només pot produir la còpia superficial.
• Una còpia superficial es defineix com el procés de creació de la còpia d'un objecte copiant les dades de totes les variables membres tal com són.

En el cas anterior, un programador no ha definit cap constructor, per tant, la instrucció Demo d2 = d1; crida al constructor predeterminat definit pel compilador. El constructor predeterminat crea la còpia exacta o la còpia superficial de l'objecte existent. Així, el punter p dels dos objectes apunta a la mateixa ubicació de memòria. Per tant, quan s'allibera la memòria d'un camp, la memòria d'un altre camp també s'allibera automàticament, ja que tots dos camps apunten a la mateixa ubicació de memòria. Aquest problema es resol amb el constructor definit per l'usuari que crea el Còpia profunda .

Còpia profunda

La còpia profunda assigna dinàmicament la memòria per a la còpia i després copia el valor real, tant la font com la còpia tenen ubicacions de memòria diferents. D'aquesta manera, tant la font com la còpia són diferents i no compartiran la mateixa ubicació de memòria. La còpia profunda requereix que escrivim el constructor definit per l'usuari.

Entenem-ho amb un exemple senzill.

 #include using namespace std; class Demo { public: int a; int b; int *p; Demo() { p=new int; } Demo(Demo &amp;d) { a = d.a; b = d.b; p = new int; *p = *(d.p); } void setdata(int x,int y,int z) { a=x; b=y; *p=z; } void showdata() { std::cout &lt;&lt; &apos;value of a is : &apos; &lt; <a<< std::endl; std::cout << \'value of b is : \' < <b<< *p <<*p<< } }; int main() { demo d1; d1.setdata(4,5,7); d2="d1;" d2.showdata(); return 0; pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> value of a is : 4 value of b is : 5 value of *p is : 7 </pre> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/c-tutorial/75/c-copy-constructor-4.webp" alt="C++ Copy Constructor"> <p>In the above case, a programmer has defined its own constructor, therefore the statement <strong>Demo d2 = d1;</strong> calls the copy constructor defined by the user.

En el cas anterior, un programador ha definit el seu propi constructor, per tant la instrucció Demo d2 = d1; crida al constructor de còpia definit per l'usuari. Crea la còpia exacta de les dades dels tipus de valor i l'objecte apuntat pel punter p. La còpia profunda no crea la còpia d'una variable de tipus de referència.
