Subj : Object copying

Hello.
I can't clearly understand what happened in this case:

var a = new Object;    //or var a = make_me_obj();, where make_me_obj
creates user defined object from C++.
var b = a;

the var b will have the copy of value a or just another reference to an
object in var a? From what it depends?
and question, is any example (wrote on C++) of class with private data,
which made copy itself in var b in case, described above. More interested in
coding of copy constructors, and order of allocing/deallocing memory for
private data.
Thanks.
