missing fields in the Prototype Pattern

[borcun]

Hi Jakub,

It might be late, but helpful to anybody. The Prototype Pattern example seems like a factory pattern, at least I think so. Please, correct me if I am wrong.

The class that implements the Prototype Pattern should create an exact copy of the class instance, thus it means that you should not create a new empty object not including data members of the class and need a copy constructor. In your example, there is no data member in the class, but it might be meaningful if you put some there, in particular private or protected ones.

Agree. Should replace the current code with the cloning implemented by copy constructor.
