In page 1-66 of C++ Language Mapping Specification you have:

"The default constructor creates an Any with a TypeCode of type tk_null
and no value. The copy constructor calls _duplicate on the TypeCode_ptr
of its Any parameter and deep-copies the parameter?s value. The
assignment operator releases its own TypeCode_ptr and deallocates
storage for the current value if necessary, then duplicates the
TypeCode_ptr of its Any parameter and deep-copies the parameter?s
value. The destructor calls release on the TypeCode_ptr and deallocates
storage for the value, if necessary."

So

Any a = ....;

Any b(a);

or

Any b = a; // this calls copy constructor.

Cheers.
