I wonder if you can use placement new and make the assignment operator for your class invoke a copy constructor?

Don't do that. It is impossible to make such an assignment operator exception safe if the copy constructor can throw.

I thought it would be a risky maneuver :) Perhaps the answer for Max is "it may be possible, but its probably not wise" -- John
