拷贝构造函数
拷贝构造函数是通过用相同的类,它已先前创建的一个目的初始化它创建了一个对象的构造。复制构造函数用于-
- 从另一个相同类型的对象初始化一个对象。
- 复制对象以将其作为参数传递给函数。
- 复制对象以从函数返回它。
如果没有在类中定义副本构造函数,则编译器本身将定义一个副本构造函数。如果该类具有指针变量并具有一些动态内存分配,则必须具有副本构造函数。复制构造函数的最常见形式如下所示:
classname (const classname &obj) {
// body of constructor
}
此处,obj是对用于初始化另一个对象的对象的引用。
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Line {
public:
int getLength( void );
Line( int len ); // simple constructor
Line( const Line &obj); // copy constructor
~Line(); // destructor
private:
int *ptr;
};
// Member functions definitions including constructor
Line::Line(int len) {
cout << "Normal constructor allocating ptr" << endl;
// allocate memory for the pointer;
ptr = new int;
*ptr = len;
}
Line::Line(const Line &obj) {
cout << "Copy constructor allocating ptr." << endl;
ptr = new int;
*ptr = *obj.ptr; // copy the value
}
Line::~Line(void) {
cout << "Freeing memory!" << endl;
delete ptr;
}
int Line::getLength( void ) {
return *ptr;
}
void display(Line obj) {
cout << "Length of line : " << obj.getLength() << endl;
}
// Main function for the program
int main() {
Line line(10);
display(line);
return 0;
}
尝试一下
编译并执行上述代码后,将产生以下结果-
Normal constructor allocating ptr
Copy constructor allocating ptr.
Length of line : 10
Freeing memory!
Freeing memory!
让我们看一下相同的示例,但是稍作改动即可使用相同类型的现有对象创建另一个对象-
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Line {
public:
int getLength( void );
Line( int len ); // simple constructor
Line( const Line &obj); // copy constructor
~Line(); // destructor
private:
int *ptr;
};
// Member functions definitions including constructor
Line::Line(int len) {
cout << "Normal constructor allocating ptr" << endl;
// allocate memory for the pointer;
ptr = new int;
*ptr = len;
}
Line::Line(const Line &obj) {
cout << "Copy constructor allocating ptr." << endl;
ptr = new int;
*ptr = *obj.ptr; // copy the value
}
Line::~Line(void) {
cout << "Freeing memory!" << endl;
delete ptr;
}
int Line::getLength( void ) {
return *ptr;
}
void display(Line obj) {
cout << "Length of line : " << obj.getLength() << endl;
}
// Main function for the program
int main() {
Line line1(10);
Line line2 = line1; // This also calls copy constructor
display(line1);
display(line2);
return 0;
}

Length of line : 10
