Re: [Algorithms] C++ inherited constructors

[Gabor F. <xl...@po...>]

i don't know if you can supress it, but why do you want to do it?

object "a" must be constructed before the construction of "b" begins ,
and the only way to construct-initialize "a" is thru an "a"-constructor.

if you have access to the sources of "a" you can create an empty constructor
for "a"....

but once again... why?
