I agree the copy constructor warnings are correct and indicate potentially serious bugs.
These copy constructor changes look correct to me.  

The code that is being missed because of this bug is debug-only usage verification.  I think
bad things might happen if we C-heap allocated a ResourceObj and then copied that object.
Maybe we fortuitously don’t ever do that?

It’s unfortunate that the only way to get these warnings from gcc seems to be via -Wextra.
