RE: [sv-ec] A question about copy constructors

That is not what mantis 1382 was about.

In the example p1 is of type c1 (the base class). I believe the question
is whether the shallow copy performs an auto-cast from p2 to p1 in this
case. I believe the answer is yes.

This was mantis 0001382 which was approved in September.

p1 will be point to an object of type c2.
