SystemVerilog vs C++/Java for Shallow vs Deep Copy.
SystemVerilog vs C++/Java
C++ object assignment is value-like for non-pointer members unless you store pointers, Java assignment is always reference assignment for objects, and SystemVerilog classes behave like Java handles. SystemVerilog new rhs resembles a copy constructor only at the top level; nested class members still need explicit deep-copy handling.
