Hatton Guest Posted: Sat Dec 16, 2006 3:51 am    Post subject: Constructor Chaining A long time ago I was told there was discussion of introducing to C++ the ability of a constructor to call another constructor of the same class. This is a feature found in Java which seems to make a lot of sense, and, as far as I am aware, introduces no fundamental problems. This is different from the existing C++ facility for calling a base class constructor in the member initialization list. What happens is that one constructor calls another constructor of the same class as if it were any other member function. Has that functionality been discussed by C++ language designers? --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated. To submit articles, try just posting with ] [ your news-reader.
