Question

Despite creating a complex class, the problem is that you do not want to give it a copy constructor or assignment operator. Anyone shouldn't be copying any instances of this class, in any case.
Designing a copy constructor that, if used, ends the programme when called is one solution:


// Works, but not optimal
class no_copy {
 // ...
 public:
 no_copy(const no_copy&) {
 std::cerr <<
 "ERROR: no_copy(no_copy) called" <<
 std::endl;
 abort();
 }
};

Even though it functions, you should locate the problem before to compilation rather than afterwards.
