Yes, it is possible: To chain to a particular superclass constructor instead of one in the same class, use super instead of this. Note that you can only chain to one constructor, and it has to be the first statement in your constructor body. See also this related question, which is about C# but where the same principles apply.

Creating an instance of class

Creates an object of type Foo in dynamic memory. foo1 points to it. Normally, you wouldn’t use raw pointers in C++, but rather a smart pointer. If Foo was a POD-type, this would perform value-initialization (it doesn’t apply here). Identical to before, because Foo is not a POD type. Creates a Foo object called foo3 in automatic storage. Uses copy-initialization to create a Foo object called foo4 in automatic storage. Uses Bar‘s … Read more

Java Copy Constructor ArrayLists

Note: Cloning the lists, isn’t the same as cloning the elements in the list. None of these approaches work the way you want them to: The approaches above will fill people such that it contains the same elements as other.people. However, you don’t want it to contain the same elements. You want to fill it with clones of … Read more

C++ template constructor

There is no way to explicitly specify the template arguments when calling a constructor template, so they have to be deduced through argument deduction. This is because if you say: The <int> is the template argument list for the type Foo, not for its constructor. There’s nowhere for the constructor template’s argument list to go. … Read more
