En Copy-konstruktör är en överbelastad konstruktor som används för att deklarera och initiera ett objekt från ett annat objekt.

Copy Constructor är av två typer:

Standardkopieringskonstruktör:Kompilatorn definierar standardkopieringskonstruktorn. Om användaren inte definierar någon kopieringskonstruktör, tillhandahåller kompilatorn sin konstruktor.Användardefinierad konstruktör:Programmeraren definierar den användardefinierade konstruktorn.

Syntax för användardefinierad kopia:

 Class_name(const class_name &old_object); 

Tänk på följande situation:

arraylistmetoder

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

I ovanstående fall, copy constructor kan anropas på följande sätt:

Låt oss se ett enkelt exempel på kopieringskonstruktorn.

// program för kopieringskonstruktören.

 #include using namespace std; class A { public: int x; A(int a) // parameterized constructor. { x=a; } A(A &amp;i) // copy constructor { x = i.x; } }; int main() { A a1(20); // Calling the parameterized constructor.

När Copy Constructor anropas

Copy Constructor anropas i följande scenarier:

• När vi initialiserar objektet med ett annat befintligt objekt av samma klasstyp. Till exempel, Student s1 = s2, där Student är klassen.
• När objektet av samma klasstyp skickas av värde som ett argument.
• När funktionen returnerar objektet av samma klasstyp efter värde.

Två typer av kopior produceras av konstruktören:

• Grund kopia
• Djup kopia

Grund kopia

• Standardkopieringskonstruktören kan bara producera den ytliga kopian.
• En grund kopia definieras som processen att skapa kopian av ett objekt genom att kopiera data från alla medlemsvariabler som de är.

Låt oss förstå detta genom ett enkelt exempel:

 #include using namespace std; class Demo { int a; int b; int *p; public: Demo() { p=new int; } 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-3.webp" alt="C++ Copy Constructor"> <p>In the above case, a programmer has not defined any constructor, therefore, the statement <strong>Demo d2 = d1;</strong> calls the default constructor defined by the compiler.

I ovanstående fall har en programmerare inte definierat någon konstruktor, därför uttalandet Demo d2 = d1; anropar standardkonstruktorn som definieras av kompilatorn. Standardkonstruktorn skapar den exakta kopian eller grunda kopian av det befintliga objektet. Således pekar pekaren p för båda objekten till samma minnesplats. Därför, när minnet av ett fält frigörs, frigörs också minnet för ett annat fält automatiskt eftersom båda fälten pekar på samma minnesplats. Detta problem löses av användardefinierad konstruktör som skapar Djup kopia .

Djup kopia

Deep copy allokerar dynamiskt minnet för kopian och kopierar sedan det faktiska värdet, både källan och kopian har distinkta minnesplatser. På detta sätt är både källan och kopian distinkta och kommer inte att dela samma minnesplats. Deep copy kräver att vi skriver den användardefinierade konstruktorn.

Låt oss förstå detta genom ett enkelt exempel.

I ovanstående fall har en programmerare definierat sin egen konstruktor, därför uttalandet Demo d2 = d1; anropar kopieringskonstruktorn som definierats av användaren. Den skapar den exakta kopian av värdetypsdata och objektet som pekas av pekaren p. Deep copy skapar inte kopian av en referenstypsvariabel.
