Is calling a default constructor from an argument constructor possible?

I'm assuming that its possible to call a default constructor of a class from an argument constructor? I hope so, so I wont have to write nearly the same thing in both constructors (as my default constructor definition is kind of long). :p

No it is not possible at this time to call a constructor from a constructor.

Hmm...I guess a workaround then might be to initialize each class member in its own separate initialize function, that way I would only have to call each init function from each constructor, thus shortening the code immensely.

You can have a member function that is called by the constructor do the initialization.

Code:

---

  class foo
  {
      public:
          foo(){ init_foo();}
      private:
          init_foo() { // Do init here}
  };

Oh, yeah. Good idea.

Thanks.

Patience, young one. Your feature is already planned for the next standard as we speak.
