Multi-Paradigm Programming with Modern C++ - Copy and Move

The video tutorial explains the concepts of copy and move operations in class instances, focusing on the implementation of copy constructors and assignment operators. It highlights the importance of resource management and system calls, particularly in the context of file handling using the Windows API. The tutorial also discusses the performance benefits of move constructors and their role in optimizing operations within containers. Additionally, it addresses the complexities of copy operations in inheritance scenarios, introducing the concept of polymorphic copy constructors and the use of clone functions to avoid slicing issues.

What should be done to avoid resource leaks during copy operations?

What is slicing in the context of inheritance and copy constructors?

How does the clone function help in implementing polymorphic copy constructors?
