Hello,

I have a question regarding the C++ Standard.

Suppose you have a base class with user defined copy constructor and assignment operator. The derived class uses the implicit one generated by the compiler.

Does copying / assignment of the derived class call the user defined copy constructor / assignment operator? Or do you need to implement user defined versions that call the base class?

Thank you for your help.
