Re: [Algorithms] C++ inherited constructors

[Favnir <fa...@wi...>]

The only way you can do this is to define a (preferably) protected
do-nothing constructor for the base class, and inherit it in the =
subclass
constructor.

But, why in the world would you need to do this, in the first place?

  Subject: [Algorithms] C++ inherited constructors


  Hi,

  I got a question about the C++ class hierarchy.

  class a
  {
      a () {...}; // constr a
  };

  class b : a
  {
      b () {...}; // constr b
  };

  b instance;

  When creating an instance of b, constructors for both class a and =
class b
  are called.
  Is there a way to suppress the automatic calling of constructor a ?
  Or something like 'overloading' the old constructor by a new one ?
  I couldn't find anything like that in the compiler docs.

  Any help appreciated,
  Matt
