C++ What is the use of a implict default constructor provided by the comiler ?

[carbon]

In C++ if no user defined constructor is provided for a class the compiler automatically provides a implicit default constructor.

An implicit default constructor is equivalent to a default constructor with no parameters and no body ?

So what is the use of a implicit default constructor provided by the compiler, if it is not going to do anything ?

The default constructor calls the constructor for each member of your class. So it does something. Like here:

MyClass obj;

obj will have each member initialized by calling its constructor.

You say each member is initialized by calling its constructor. OK, initialized to what? To whatever the constructor feels like? LOL. I mean if no user defined constructor is provided then where are the initializing values coming from?

[weaknessforcats]

The compiler knows how to initialize the built-in types but if your class has user-defined type as a member and there is no default constructor for that type, then your compile fails on this code:

MyClass obj;

Initialization is a big deal in C++ since major initialization errors in C slip by the C compiler. One of the C++ goals was to plug these errors at compile time rather than when the program was running.

C does not do member-wise initialization. It doesn't do any initialization at all. There is reliance on the mem--- functions which can easily screw up the stack.
