Hi,

I got asked this question in an interview: How do you create a copy constructor for a int * ?
Is this a valid question? Is it possible to create a copy constructor for a int *?

[S0ULphIRE]

wouldn't it just be the same as a normal copy constructor, only using the pointer to store the memory address of your usual variable?

copy constructors
copy constructors2
constructors3

I'm sorta new to this 'copy constructor' idea, so I don't really know if I'm spouting rubbish Take a look at those links, maybe one will help.

Well you can either store the value that the pointer is pointing to or you can store the address in memory which is the actual value of the pointer.

A basic copy constructor for an int* is simple. Assuming the class has already been made and called cstr and it has a private member int* intptr the code is as follows:

cstr::cstr(int* inpt)
{
	intptr = inpt;
}

I think that's what you're trying to ask but correct me if it's not.
