Copy constructors are provided (by the C++ compiler) for fixed-length
types. Variable-length types are always dynamically allocated so clone()
is the preferred mechanism to use with such types.

You get the position and the error description. If you are using C++
exceptions, see, the 'hello' example for how to access this information.
Otherwise, see the 'minimal' example.
