Are you required to have have copy constructors and assignment operators defined as well to make use of this new feature of c++11?

I have found that if your class needs a non-default assignment, copy constructor, or destructor, then you probably need all three or else you're likely going to shoot yourself in the foot (un)expectedly.
Likewise, if you don't need any of these, then you should let the compiler generate the optimized defaults for them, since it will treat it POD.

The Rule of the Big 3 in my programming class. If you ever need to define either, a Copy Constructor, Destructor, or Assignment, then you better define all three. What's this new C++11? *googles*
