nocopy.hpp File Reference

Description

Mix-Ins to allow or prohibit various degrees of copying and cloning.

Whenever a class is conceived as entity with a well-defined "identity", or whenever a service has to manage resources, we consider it good practice to define it by default as "non copyable". This rules out a lot of complexities with mutable state and confusion regarding equality.

Remarks

inspired by Boost-Noncopyable
