:-)  Welcome to C++!

You should go back and reread a good C++ book on what a copy
constructor is and does, why you need them, and the part about the
compiler creating temporaries anytime it feels like it, and think
about the two.

Then learn about reference counting in C++ and why it is useful and
how it is implemented.

comp.lang.c++ is a better forum than this for learning how to program
in C++.
