Question

I’m having difficulty understanding this:

It is well known that assignment operator won’t be inherited directly… I’ve asked this yesterday LINK

AFAIK following non-virtual operators won’t be inherited as well:

operator&  //unary user defined
operator* //unary user defined

all other operators will be inherited( correct me if I’m wrong )

Which virtual operators won’t be inherited? (does virtual specifier make any difference?)

Answer 1

Strictly speaking, everything is inherited. However, the following will be hidden in the derived class by implicitly-declared versions (or user-declared versions, if the user declares them):

• Default constructor: T()
• Destructor: ~T()
• Copy constructor: T(T const &) (sometimes without const)
• Copy-assignment operator: T & operator=(T const &) (sometimes without const)
• Move constructor: T(T &&)
• Move-assignment operator: T & operator=(T &&)

operator& and operator* are inherited like everything else. virtual declarations make no difference.
