I have a question regarding c++. Maybe it's not a good one for this group,
but I use DJGPP so what the hell. 
Let's say a class called object, and a global variable of that class. In
one of my functions I say
my_obj = Object(..something...);
This function is called a lot of times in my program, and my question is:
will the constructor generate a new copy of this object each time I call
it. And if it does will the memory previously taken by my_obj be freed?
Thank you.
