Assignment operator - Self-assignment

Question

Does the compiler generated assignment operator guard against self assignment?

class T {

   int x;
public:
   T(int X = 0): x(X) {}
};

int main()
{
   T a(         


        

Answer 1

This is an easy one to check empirically:

#include 
struct A {
  void operator=(const A& rhs) {
    if(this==&rhs) std::cout << "Self-assigned\n";
  }
};

struct B {
  A a;
};

int main()
{
  B b;
  b = b;
}
