Please tell me what do you think about this code ?

------------------------------

#include <iostream.h>

class Object
{
 private:
        int data;
 public:    
        Object(int=0);
        Object(Object&);
        ShowData();
};

Object::Object(int d)
{ data=d; }

Object::Object(Object &o)
{ data=o.data; }

Object::ShowData()
{ return data; }


main()
{
 Object InstObject1(5),InstObject2;

 InstObject2=InstObject1;
 cout<<InstObject2.ShowData();
 return 0;
}

-----------------------------------

In the constructor "Object(Object &o)", the member "o.data" is accessed
although it is a private member !
Is there something wrong ?

I used DJGPP 2.01 and I had no pb to compile this and it worked fine.
