There are no mistakes in line //1, there is a regular initialization list.
In line //2 object a will be initialized either directly via existing constructor A(int) (if copy elision enabled), or from the temporary object generated by the A(int) constructor and then will be copied into a via automatically generated copy constructor. The copy constructor is automatically generated by the compiler if there are no explicitly declared copy constructor.
Object b will be initialized by the automatically generated copy constructor.
