Thread: Issue creating objects with inheritance and initializater list

Hello. I want to combine a constructor that simultaneously uses an initializer list together with inheritance. My problem is that I am receiving these error messages:

|4|error: no match for call to ‘(Vec4f) (float, float, float, float)’ |5|error: no match for call to ‘(Vec4f) (float, float, float, float) |6|error: no match for call to ‘(Vec4f) (float, float, float, float) |7|error: no match for call to ‘(Vec4f) (float, float, float, float)|

Bellow a sample code that reproduces the above error:

Code:

class Vec3f {
   public:
      inline Vec3f () : x (0), y (0), z (0) {}
      inline Vec3f (float xx, float yy, float zz) : x (xx), y (yy), z (zz)  { }
   private:
      float x,y,z;
};

class Vec4f : Vec3f
{
   public:
      inline Vec4f (): Vec3f(), w(0) {}
      inline Vec4f (float a,float b,float c,float d): Vec3f (a,b,c), w(d) {}
   private:
      float w;
};

class Matrix4x4 {
   public:
      void setIdentity ();
   private:
      Vec4f row1, row2, row3, row4;
};

void Matrix4x4::setIdentity () {
   row1 (1.0f,0.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
   row2 (0.0f,1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
   row3 (0.0f,0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
   row4 (0.0f,0.0f,0.0f,1.0f);
}


main () {
   Matrix4x4 a;
   a.setIdentity ();
}

So, any suggestions. Thanks for the input.

P.S: I first opened a thread about it here: Initializer list with inheritance - C++ Forum. Until the present moment there was no solution, but if it shows up there, I will update here with the solution.
