It's good to return a smart pointer, but unlike with raw pointers the return type cannot be covariant (for example, `D::clone` can't return a `unique_ptr<D>`. Don't let this tempt you into returning an owning raw pointer; this is a minor drawback compared to the major robustness benefit delivered by the owning smart pointer.
##### Exceptions
If you need covariant return types, return an `owner<derived*>`. See [C.130](#Rh-copy).
##### Enforcement
A class with any virtual function should not have a copy constructor or copy assignment operator (compiler-generated or handwritten).

##### Reason
Copying a base is usually slicing. If you really need copy semantics, copy deeply: Provide a virtual `clone` function that will copy the actual most-derived type, and in derived classes return the derived type (use a covariant return type).
Copying a base is usually slicing. If you really need copy semantics, copy deeply: Provide a virtual `clone` function that will copy the actual most-derived type and return an owning pointer to the new object, and then in derived classes return the derived type (use a covariant return type).
##### Example
class base {
public:
virtual base* clone() = 0;
virtual owner<base*> clone() = 0;
virtual ~base() = 0;
base(const base&) = delete;
base& operator=(const base&) = delete;
};
class derived : public base {
public:
derived* clone() override;
owner<derived*> clone() override;
virtual ~derived() override;
};
Note that because of language rules, the covariant return type cannot be a smart pointer.
Note that because of language rules, the covariant return type cannot be a smart pointer. See also [C.67](#Rc-copy-virtual).
##### Enforcement
* Flag a class with a virtual function and a non-user-defined copy operation.
* Flag an assignment of base class objects (objects of a class from which another has been derived).
