The six special member functions. Do you know them all? Do you know when the compiler generates them for you and what they are doing? And most importantly, do you know when they don’t give you what you expect? In this talk I will explain the six special members in detail.

Also, among many other guidelines I’ll explain why we should strive for the Rule of 0, why the Rule of 5 is sometimes unavoidable, and why the Rule of 3 is not obsolete.
