Because constructors do not have names, they are never found during

If a default constructor of a union-like class X is trivial,
then for each union U that is either X or an anonymous union member of X,
if the first variant member, if any, of U has implicit-lifetime type ([[basic.types.general]](basic.types.general "6.9.1General")),
the default constructor of X begins the lifetime of that member

It is already the active member if U was value-initialized[.](#class.default.ctor-4.sentence-2)

Otherwise,
an implicitly-defined ([[dcl.fct.def.default]](dcl.fct.def.default "9.6.2Explicitly-defaulted functions")) default constructor performs the set of

constructor for that class with no[*ctor-initializer*](class.base.init#nt:ctor-initializer "11.9.3Initializing bases and members[class.base.init]") ([[class.base.init]](class.base.init "11.9.3Initializing bases and members")) and an empty[*compound-statement*](stmt.block#nt:compound-statement "8.4Compound statement or block[stmt.block]")[.](#class.default.ctor-4.sentence-3)
If that user-written default constructor would be ill-formed,
the program is ill-formed[.](#class.default.ctor-4.sentence-4)
If that user-written default constructor would be constexpr-suitable ([[dcl.constexpr]](dcl.constexpr "9.2.6The constexpr and consteval specifiers")),
the implicitly-defined
default constructor is constexpr[.](#class.default.ctor-4.sentence-5)
Before the defaulted default constructor for a class is
implicitly defined,
all the non-user-provided default constructors for its base classes and
its non-static data members are implicitly defined[.](#class.default.ctor-4.sentence-6)

An implicitly-declared default constructor has an
exception specification ([[except.spec]](except.spec "14.5Exception specifications"))[.](#class.default.ctor-4.sentence-7)

A default constructor is implicitly invoked to initialize
a class object when no initializer is specified ([[dcl.init.general]](dcl.init.general "9.5.1General"))[.](#class.default.ctor-5.sentence-1)

Before the defaulted copy/move constructor for a class is

all non-user-provided copy/move constructors for its
potentially constructed subobjects
are implicitly defined[.](#class.copy.ctor-13.sentence-1)

The implicitly-defined copy/move constructor for a non-union classX performs a memberwise copy/move of its bases and members[.](#class.copy.ctor-14.sentence-1)
[*Note [7](#class.copy.ctor-note-7)*:
Default member initializers of non-static data members are ignored[.](#class.copy.ctor-14.sentence-2)

The order of initialization is the same as the order of initialization of bases
and members in a user-defined constructor (see [[class.base.init]](class.base.init "11.9.3Initializing bases and members"))[.](#class.copy.ctor-14.sentence-3)
Let x be either the parameter of the constructor or, for the move constructor, an
xvalue referring to the parameter[.](#class.copy.ctor-14.sentence-4)
Each base or non-static data member
is copied/moved in the manner appropriate to its type:
- [(14.1)](#class.copy.ctor-14.1)
if the member is an array, each element is
direct-initialized with the corresponding subobject of x;
- [(14.2)](#class.copy.ctor-14.2)
if a member m has rvalue reference type T&&, it is direct-initialized withstatic_cast<T&&>(x.m);
- [(14.3)](#class.copy.ctor-14.3)
otherwise, the base or member is direct-initialized with the corresponding base or member of x[.](#class.copy.ctor-14.sentence-5)
Virtual base class subobjects shall be initialized only once by
the implicitly-defined copy/move constructor (see [[class.base.init]](class.base.init "11.9.3Initializing bases and members"))[.](#class.copy.ctor-14.sentence-6)

The implicitly-defined copy/move constructor for a unionX copies the object representation ([[basic.types.general]](basic.types.general#term.object.representation "6.9.1General")) of X[.](#class.copy.ctor-15.sentence-1)
For each object nested within ([[intro.object]](intro.object "6.8.2Object model"))
the object that is the source of the copy,
a corresponding object o nested within the destination
is identified (if the object is a subobject) or created (otherwise),
and the lifetime of o begins before the copy is performed[.](#class.copy.ctor-15.sentence-2)
