Would this work as a copy constructor?

[ETAkoG1T]

assuming the class is not using dynamic memory

manager::manager(const manager & m)
{
	*this = m;
}

That depends on your copy assignment operator.

I am using the default in this program. I am not using dynamic memory allocation.

[vlad from moscow]

It is simpler to write

manager( const manager & ) = default;

So does both work? And both do the identical thing? thank you :)

[Peter87]

In many cases the copy constructor will be generated automatically so you might not need the line vlad posted.
