"When certain criteria are met, an implementation is allowed to omit the copy construction of a class object, even if the copy constructor and/or destructor for the object have side effects. In such cases, the implementation treats the source and target of the omitted copy operation as simply two different ways of referring to the same object" ps). you can disable such optimization with -fno-elide-contructors -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28761
