i have a base class and every thing is inherited from it .
i want to make that base class private but when i try the inherited class complains when it trys to pass arguments back to it from when i make it .
anyway i can make it private
the base class contructor has a lot of info for setting up the class so , im not sure if i can make it abstract
What do you mean by "make that base class private"? As in you are trying to use private inheritance?

just the constructor
Oh, then the solution is simple: just don't implement a similiar constructor in the derived class. Someone who wants to construct a derived class object has to use the derived class constructors, even though these in turn invoke a base class constructor. If you really do want to make the base class constructor non-public yet accessible from the derived class constructor(s), then declare that base class constructor as protected.

cheers , i made it protected , i thought what i wanted was not possible , was trying to make it like the way a singleton works , but could not get it right
uh, constructors aren't inherited... I'm not sure what you are worrying about.
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
