Question

I have two pointers to class A declared globally

A* a;
A* b;

int main(){
     a = new A(...);           
}

How should I invoke a copy constructor to make b as copy BY VALUE of a. class A does not have any pointers as fields.

I do have a constructor declared, but I can remove it in order to not override the default one.

Thanks

Simply call the copy constructor with new:

b = new A(*a);

I gotta ask though… why not keep two static objects instead?
