[Mastering the Special Member Functions : The Rules of 0 to 5 and Beyond]
Lifetime management in C++ offers flexibility and power, but it comes with significant complexity, especially as the language has evolved. The Rules of 0 and 5 are essential for managing this complexity. Ideally, your types should require no Special Member Functions (like destructors, copy/move constructors, or assignment operators). However, if you do need one, you’ll likely need all five, and knowing how to implement them correctly can be challenging. Understanding the type you’re working with is crucial, so we’ll break down the common categories.

Come with us on a journey through these rules, type categories and behaviours and start to make sense of lifetimes in modern C++.
