Copy constructor when declaring two objects

Question

Does declaring the following:

MyClass myFirstObject;    
MyClass mySecondObject = myFirstObject;

mean that the copy constructor is used for the second object even if no parameter is passed?

Answer 1

Yes,A copy constructor is used to initialize an object with a differnt object of same type. Situation where a copy constructor is called

MyClass A;
MyClass B(A);         //Explicit Copy constructor invoked
MyClass C = A;        //Implicit Copy constructor invoked

Answer 2

An easy way to check is by adding a cout statement in the copy constructor:

MyClass::MyClass(const MyClass&){

std::cout << "I am called!";

/*do stuff*/

}
